Josh Hader clings to save despite rocky outing

Josh Hader managed to secure the save in the Astros' 5-3 victory over the Nationals, despite allowing a run.
Fantasy Impact:
In his appearance, Hader threw 30 pitches, yielding two hits and a walk while striking out two. This performance, though successful in terms of the save, continues a troubling trend for Hader, whose ERA remains inflated at 8.38. His WHIP also stands high at 1.66, reflecting ongoing issues with allowing baserunners. While his strikeout rate remains impressive at 14.9 K/9, fantasy managers should be wary of his high BABIP (.476) and overall volatility. Hader's ability to close games is intact, but his inconsistency this season makes him a risky play in all but the most save-hungry fantasy formats.
