Astros' Shawn Dubin: Joins 40-man roster

Dubin had his contract selected by the Astros on Friday.

Dubin will join the 40-man roster as Houston has opted to shield him from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. The 26-year-old had a 3.44 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:19 K:BB over 49.2 innings at Triple-A last season and is a strong candidate to make his MLB debut in 2022.
