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: Collects 20th save

    Rotowire
    Hader picked up a save over the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one walk over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two. Hader entered the contest with a two-run lead in the ninth and retired the first two batters before surrendering a walk to Jonatan Clase. The veteran reliever then made short work of Luke Raley for the third and final out, securing his 20th save of the campaign and his eighth in the month of July. Hader has also posted two strikeouts in four of his last five appearances while not allowing a hit over that stretch.

  • 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.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Yields homer in non-save spot

    Rotowire
    Hader allowed a solo home run and a walk with three strikeouts during Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies. Hader stepped into the game for the ninth inning despite not being eligible for the save and gave up his first home run since June 9 to Michael Toglia. After a shaky start to 2024, Hader owns a 2.25 ERA with 30 strikeouts and eight saves over his last 19 appearances. He's also walking batters at his lowest clip since 2019, with 2.4 BB/9 in 2024.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Notches second save in as many days

    Rotowire
    Hader earned a save against the Astros on Thursday, striking out two batters in one perfect inning. Hader threw 12 of 14 pitches for strikes, including eight whiffs. The save was his second in as many days, marking the second time this season he's accomplished that feat. Despite a middling 3.74 ERA, Hader has been effective this season, converting 11 of 12 save chances and posting a 52:10 K:BB over 33.2 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Records 10th save

    Rotowire
    Hader allowed one hit in a scoreless inning while striking out one batter to earn a save against the White Sox on Wednesday. It was a relatively easy outing for Hader, who entered in the ninth with Houston ahead by three runs. The veteran closer allowed a one-out single but was never in serious trouble. Hader has converted all 10 of his save chances since blowing his first opportunity of the campaign April 2 versus Toronto.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Gives up run in non-save situation

    Rotowire
    Hader allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out two in the ninth inning Sunday against the Tigers. Hader entered the game with the Astros up 4-0 and allowed consecutive hits with one out to surrender the earned run. He's given up at least one earned run in three of his last 10 appearances, though he has maintained 14:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings in that span. Though not primarily his fault, Hader has not tallied a save since June 3.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Charged with loss

    Rotowire
    Hader (3-4) took the loss Sunday against the Angels after allowing two runs on two hits while striking out a batter over two-thirds of an inning. Hader faced five total batters but only was able to record two outs. He entered with two outs in the eighth and got out of the frame. He then returned for the ninth to try and preserve a 7-7 tie and was unable to do so. Hader retired the first batter he faced but then allowed a base hit and a walk-off two-run homer to Logan O'Hoppe. It was Hader's first time allowing multiple runs in an outing since April 15 and his first loss since May 5. It's now been a full week since Hader's picked up his last save, and he sits at nine for the year after tallying 30-plus in each of his last four full seasons. He owns a 4.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB in 28.2 innings thus far.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Earns ninth save

    Rotowire
    Hader earned a save against the Cardinals on Monday, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning. Entering with a 7-4 lead in the ninth inning, Hader needed only 14 pitches to secure his ninth save of the season. Hader has only allowed one run over his past 11 appearances and is now 9-for-10 in save attempts in 2024. He currently owns a 3.54 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB in 28 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Earns eighth save

    Rotowire
    Hader picked up a save against the Twins on Saturday, striking out one batter over a scoreless inning. It was a relatively easy save chance for Hader, as he entered with a three-run lead. The southpaw had worked in a non-save situation in each of his previous three appearances, though he's clearly still in control of Houston's closer role. Hader has had a few rough outings this season but is 8-for-9 in save chances and has allowed just three earned runs and struck out 33 batters over his past 19.1 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Yields run Sunday

    Rotowire
    Hader allowed a solo home run and struck out one batter during Sunday's win over Oakland. Hader entered a non-save situation and eventually finished off the 5-2 win, but not before coughing up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers. That homer snapped Hader's 8.1-inning scoreless streak and his seven-inning hitless streak. The veteran southpaw owns a 4.13 ERA with a 38:9 K:BB and seven saves this season.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Records seventh save

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Athletics. Hader has not allowed a hit over his last five appearances spanning seven innings, and he has a 12:2 K:BB with three saves and two wins in that span. The Astros are trending upward as well, which has given Hader more consistent work. The southpaw is at a 3.91 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB over 23 innings while converting seven of eight save chances this season.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Secures win with elite performance

    Rotowire
    Hader (3-3) earned the win over the Angels in 10 innings on Tuesday, pitching two perfect innings while striking out four. Hader put together a vintage performance to help the Astros get by the Angels, which included striking out the side in the 10th inning. He's now pitched multiple frames in two of his last three outings and is showing signs of dominance once again after a rough start to the year. Over his last 11 games, Hader has a 1.26 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB in 14.1 innings, which equates to a 44.4 strikeout rate. For the year, he's now lowered his ERA to a 4.09 to complement a 1.09 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 22 innings.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Picks up save Friday

    Rotowire
    Hader struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned the save over the Brewers on Friday. Hader made quick work of the Brewers, needing just 12 pitches to snag his sixth save of the year. After a disastrous start to his Astros career -- a 9.39 ERA with one save through nine appearances -- Hader has seemingly settled in with his new team. He's allowed just two earned runs over his last 12.1 innings, lowering his season ERA to 4.50. He's riding a 5.1-inning scoreless streak with three saves and a win during that span.
