Josh Hader's shoulder injury would keep him out of the regular season but he says he could be ready if Astros make playoffs.

The Houston Astros will be without Josh Hader for a while, but the closer returning in the postseason is still on the table.

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader told reporters Saturday he does not expect to pitch again in the regular season because of a left shoulder capsule strain but did not rule out a return for the playoffs.
