Astros closer Josh Hader has landed on the IL with a left shoulder strain after he experienced discomfort during a workout that left him unavailable to pitch in Houston's 7-6 win

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.

While Josh Hader's injury presents a significant loss, Joe Espada had faith in his relief corps to get the job done.
