Hader’s 250th Save: Lights Out Return | Houston Astros News

Josh Hader just joined elite company with his 250th career save, quietly downplaying the milestone while dominating this season like never before. After missing nearly ten months with a shoulder injury, he’s been lights out since returning in June — posting a 23-for-23 save record, a 0.70 ERA, and striking out 52 batters in just 38⅓ innings. Only four other relievers in history have matched his dominance in their first 39 appearances. The Astros are wisely letting him throw multiple innings, signaling his arm is ready to handle more. With the team hot for a playoff run and key bullpen depth thinning, Hader’s resurgence — fueled by his trusty fastball and surgical command — could be crucial.
