Josh Hader Dominates in 2026 Comeback Season With Houston Astros

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader delivered a dominant 2026 comeback campaign following his return from injury on June 3. Hader appeared in 45 contests and successfully converted all 26 of his save opportunities while holding opposing hitters to a microscopic .125 batting average. With two guaranteed years remaining on his contract, Hader remains a vital pillar at the back of Houston's bullpen moving forward.
