Josh Hader Falters, Blows Save Despite Strong Outing
by Emily Maingi | Astros Correspondent | Wed, Sep 18th 12:07pm EDT
Josh Hader delivered a solid performance, striking out two and allowing no hits or walks over 1.1 innings, but unfortunately recorded a blown save as the Astros edged the Padres 4-3.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the hiccup in securing the game, Hader's season has been marked by a strong 3.26 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP, with an impressive 13.3 K/9 rate. His ability to limit base runners and consistently strike out opponents keeps him as a top fantasy option among closers, though the occasional blown save, now totaling four on the season, does temper expectations slightly. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him with confidence, albeit with a cautious eye on games where the pressure mounts.
