After the injury announcement, Astros manager Joe Espada, in a post from Chandler Rome of The Athletic, revealed his thoughts on the injury and the recovery timeline for Hader amid his shoulder strain.

Six-time All-Star Josh Hader, who is tied for third in MLB with 28 saves, will have to recover from a left shoulder strain before he returns to the mound for the Houston Astros.

Hader is the eighth pitcher to join the Astros’ current injured list, which includes starters Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. Position players such as Yordan Alvarez, Jake Meyers and Isaac Paredes are also out with various ailments.
