Locks down fifth save Hader secured the save Sunday against the Guardians, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out two.

Impact Hader made quick work of the Cleveland bats Sunday, firing eight of his nine pitches for strikes. After missing the first two months of the season with left biceps tendinitis, the hard-throwing left-hander has been dominant in his return to Houston's closer role. Hader boasts a 1.13 ERA, 0.38 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB over eight frames while converting all five of his save chances.

Collects fourth save Hader earned the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Tigers, allowing one run on one hit and no walks with three strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Impact Hader was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and yielded a leadoff homer before rebounding with three straight punchouts. It was the first run allowed by the 32-year-old in seven appearances since returning from the injured list June 3, though he still sports a 1.29 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB across seven innings while converting all four of his save chances.

Notches third save Hader picked up a save against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Impact Hader unsurprisingly got the call for the top of the ninth inning with Houston up by two runs. The left-hander allowed a leadoff single to bring the tying run to the plate, but he retired the next three batters he faced to close things out. Hader is now a perfect 3-for-3 on save opportunities this season, and he's yet to give up a run while compiling an 8:1 K:BB over six innings spanning six appearances.

Second save of season Hader recorded his second save of the season while pitching a perfect inning in Friday's 10-8 win over the Royals. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact Hader has gone 2-for-2 in save chances this season, but he looks as dominant as ever despite making his season debut on June 3 following a left shoulder strain that kept him sidelined for the first two-plus months of the campaign. Hader owns a 7:1 K:BB in five appearances in 2026 and has yet to allow a run or a hit.

Converts first save Hader walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 11-9 win over the Pirates.

Impact Hader missed more than two months due to left biceps tendinitis. This was his season debut, and he was able to convert the save while throwing 17 pitches (11 strikes). Hader's 2025 campaign was interrupted by a left shoulder strain, preventing him from earning his sixth 30-save campaign. He'll likely fall short of that mark again in 2026 due to the time he's already missed, but he looks ready to take full control of the closing duties for the Astros.

Reinstated from 60-day injured list The Astros activated Hader (biceps) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Hader is ready to go after missing the first two months of the season with left biceps tendinitis. He was also shelved down the stretch of last season with a left shoulder strain, though the issues are considered unrelated. Hader posted a 4.15 ERA and 11:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings on a rehab assignment and displayed diminished velocity, averaging just 92.9 mph with his four-seamer in his last rehab appearance. The southpaw should move back into the Houston closer role even if he's unable to rediscover the pep on his heater, though Hader might be eased into high-leverage situations.
