Josh Hader Seals the Deal, But Not Without a Scare

Josh Hader notched another save despite allowing a run in the Astros' 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact:

Josh Hader surrendered one hit and struck out a batter, but a run did cross the plate before he closed the door. This outing was a bit of a tightrope walk for Hader, who has been generally reliable this season, evidenced by his solid 3.82 ERA and exceptional 14.3 K/9. However, his tendency to allow crucial hits, as seen in this game, can be a heart-stopper for fantasy managers. With a WHIP that remains impressive at 1.01, he's still a top-tier option in most fantasy leagues, but these nerve-wracking moments could be a cause for slight concern if they become a pattern.
