Player Outlook
Aside from a career-worst 13.0% walk rate, Josh Hader was back to his otherwise dominant ways, tallying 33 of the Padres' 36 total saves for a 91.7% team save share that was second-highest among closers. His 36.8% strikeout rate was fifth-best among qualified relievers thanks to a devastating slider (51.7% whiff rate, .100 BAA) and upper-90's sinker (73.4% pitch usage) that kept hitters off-balance. The southpaw went three months last summer without permitting an earned run, spanning 26 appearances and 23.2 innings. The five-time All-Star is showing no signs of slowing down as he enters his age-30 season. Hader ended up with the Astros in free agency on a five-year, $95 million deal, which presumably moves Ryan Pressly into a setup role. The lefty should remain among the top-five closers off the board in drafts.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Locks down 29th save

    Rotowire
    Hader picked up the save in a win over the Royals on Thursday, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning. Hader took over in the top of the ninth after the Astros had just taken a three-run lead on a four-run rally in the eighth. He then needed just 10 pitches to retire the side and secure his 29th save of the campaign, putting the veteran lefty on the cusp of his fifth consecutive 30-save season. Hader hasn't allowed an earned run in August while posting a 15:5 K:BB for the month.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Stuck with loss Monday

    Rotowire
    Hader (6-7) took the loss Monday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk in an inning-plus of relief as the Astros fell 3-2 to the Phillies in 10 innings. He struck out three. The fireballing closer struck out the side in the ninth inning to preserve a 2-2 tie, but when Hader came out to begin the 10th, a walk to Trea Turner was following by a walk-off single by Bryce Harper. Hader has still gone the entire month of August without giving up an earned run, and over his last 12 appearances he sports a 0.00 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 12.1 innings. The southpaw needs two more saves to record his fifth 30-save campaign, and he sits seven short of 200 for his career.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Locks down save No. 28

    Rotowire
    Hader walked a batter over a scoreless inning to pick up the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Orioles. Hader only threw five strikes out of the 12 pitches he needed to get through the frame. He began with a leadoff walk to Gunnar Henderson before getting a lineout and erasing the walk with a game-ending double play. Hader is now working on 11 straight scoreless appearances dating back to July 31. He's allowed just two hits and has posted a 12:4 K:BB while picking up eight saves over that span. He's sitting tied for fifth in baseball with 28 saves to compliment a 3.30 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 84:19 K:BB in 57.1 innings this season.

    Rotowire
    Hader (6-6) didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win Monday against Boston. Hader entered the game in the ninth inning with the score knotted at 4-4. He turned in his 10th consecutive scoreless appearance -- covering 10.1 innings -- during which he's maintained a 12:3 K:BB while also recording seven saves and two wins. Though Hader has a relatively inflated 3.36 ERA for the season, his 0.91 WHIP is his lowest mark since 2021.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Slams door for save

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save against the White Sox on Sunday.

Despite some shakiness throughout the season, he's now converted 27 straight save chances since blowing his first opportunity as an Astro on April 2. Hader is currently riding a 9.1-inning scoreless streak, lowering his season ERA to 3.42 alongside a terrific 84:18 K:BB through 55.1 frames.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Grabs extra-inning win

    Rotowire
    Hader (5-6) struck out three over two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the extra-inning win over the Rays on Wednesday. Bryan Abreu gave up the tying run in the eighth inning, but Hader was sterling in the ninth and 10th frames to extend his scoreless streak to 8.1 innings. He's allowed just three runs over his last 15.1 innings, all of which came in a single appearance July 29 versus the Pirates. Hader is at a 3.48 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 82:18 K:BB while converting 26 of 27 save chances through 54.1 innings this season.

The 30-year-old has has been excellent over his past five appearances, notching four saves while allowing just one hit and three walks over 4.1 scoreless innings. Hader owns a 3.75 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB across 50.1 innings this season, converting 24 of 25 save opportunities.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Bounces back for save

    Rotowire
    Hader allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates. Hader melted down in a non-save situation in Monday's game versus the Pirates, but he was able to protect a one-run lead without trouble Wednesday. He'll end a tumultuous July with six runs allowed over 10.1 innings, including four home runs allowed, but he converted all nine of his save chances for the month. For the season, Hader has a 4.02 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 73:15 K:BB while converting 21 of 22 save chances through 47 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Takes sixth loss

    Rotowire

He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 72:15 K:BB while converting 20 of 21 saves through 46 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Secures save Friday

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Mariners. Hader got through the middle of the Mariners' order on a tidy 11 pitches (seven strikes) to earn his 19th save of the campaign. This was his fourth straight scoreless outing, an improvement on a stretch in which he allowed a run in four of six appearances from June 25 to July 7. The closer is at a 3.77 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 68:12 K:BB through 43 innings this season.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Notches 18th save

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 18th save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Rangers. The veteran closer blew his first save chance of the year back on April 2, and he hasn't squandered one since. Hader has had trouble keeping the ball in the yard in 2024, serving up eight homers in 42 innings to fuel a 3.86 ERA, but he's otherwise been as dominant as ever, with his 40.4 percent strikeout rate being his highest mark since 2021.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Fans two for 17th save

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out two over a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save over the Marlins on Thursday. Hader entered the contest with a three-run lead in the ninth and struck out two of the three batters he faced. It marked the veteran lefty's 17th save of the campaign in 18 chances and he's now posted two strikeouts in back-to-back appearances. Hader also hasn't allowed any hits or runs over his last two outings after previously giving up a run in four of six.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Gets walked off Sunday

    Rotowire
    Hader (3-5) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing a solo home run without recording an out. Hader entered with the game tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth. He served up a solo shot to Christian Vazquez, which gave the Twins the walk-off win. This is the fourth time in six outings that Hader has given up a run -- all of which have been on homers -- though he hasn't taken a blown save since April 2. He's at a 4.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB through 39 innings while converting 15 of 16 save chances this season. Since his missteps have rarely resulted in trouble so far, Hader's security as the Astros' closer remains high, but his recent struggles with the long ball are reminiscent of his awful second half of 2022, which is at least worth keeping an eye on for fantasy purposes.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Escapes with 15th save

    Rotowire
    Hader picked up a save in Friday's 13-12 win against the Twins. He faced two batters, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one. Hader likely didn't expect to enter Friday's contest as the Astros held a 13-5 lead entering the ninth. However, Luis Contreras allowed three runs and then loaded the bases, forcing the call to the Houston closer. Hader allowed a grand slam to Carlos Correa to bring the Twins within one before fanning Manuel Margot for his 15th save of the campaign. The Houston southpaw now sports a 3.92 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB across 39 total innings while going 15-for-16 in save chances.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Records save on Independence Day

    Rotowire
    Hader earned a save against the Blue Jays on Thursday, allowing one hit in one scoreless inning. Hader entered in the ninth inning with Houston holding a two-run lead and immediately allowed a single to bring the tying run to the plate. However, he then induced a double play -- Toronto's fifth double play of the contest -- and needed just nine pitches overall to nail down his 14th save. Despite the successful outing, Hader snapped an eight-game streak of appearances with at least one punchout. He had posted a 14:1 K:BB across eight frames during that stretch.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Bags 13th save

    Rotowire
    Hader picked up the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, pitching one inning with one strikeout and allowing a solo home run. The Houston southpaw entered the ninth with a three-run lead and fired 13 pitches to lock up his 178th career save. However, Hader also allowed his sixth homer of the year -- a 404-foot solo shot to Ernie Clement -- raising his 2024 home-run rate to 1.4 HR/9. The 30-year-old closer sports a 3.82 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 60:11 K:BB over 37.2 total innings while going 13-for-14 in save chances.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Nails down 12th save

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Mets. The Astros' late comeback resulted in a save chance, and Hader converted with ease. He's picked up five saves over 11 outings in June while surrendering four runs and posting a 16:1 K:BB across 10.2 innings for the month. Overall, he's 12-for-13 in save chances with a 3.68 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 59:11 K:BB through 36.2 innings this season, with the Astros' mediocre play being the main reason for his reduced saves total, though the team is trending up by going 9-2 over the last two weeks.
