Astros Place Josh Hader on Injured List with Shoulder Strain
Houston Astros placed closer Josh Hader on the 15-day injured list due to a shoulder strain, marking his first major league injury since debuting in 2017. Hader, a key reliever with a dominant 2025 season, is undergoing additional testing to determine the severity. The team recalled Colton Gordon and reinstated Shawn Dubin, while designating Hector Neris for assignment. The Astros' bullpen will now rely on Bryan Abreu and other relievers as they contend in the AL West.
