For Jordan Campbell of Climbing Tal's Hill, the plan laid out by manager Joe Espada is a concerning one. Espada, in a piece from Chandler Rome of The Athletic, hinted at the solution consisting of multiple players getting a chance to close games.

The Astros will go with a match-up based approach to their bullpen roles for now. Hader will undergo more testing on the sore shoulder.

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader will seek a second opinion on his injured left shoulder, manager Joe Espada said Wednesday. Hader was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with what the Astros termed a left shoulder strain. Espada did not offer further details about Hader’s injury or the first medical opinion Wednesday.
