Josh Hader (Astros) Likely to Miss Opening Day with Shoulder, Biceps Injuries

Astros closer Josh Hader is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day as he continues to recover from a sprained shoulder capsule and biceps tendinitis, currently only throwing off flat ground. His absence would elevate Bryan Abreu to closing duties. Enyel De Los Santos is also expected to miss the start of the season. Hader's injury last year significantly impacted the Astros' bullpen, and his extended absence would be a major blow.
