Hader (2-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on a hit and a walk without recording an out, taking the loss Friday versus the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Hader entered with the game tied at 3-3 and made a mess of it. One run came home on his own error, and he followed that up with a two-run home run to Alex Call before Luis Garcia was brought in to complete the inning. Hader's struggles from the end of his Brewers tenure have followed him to San Diego -- he's given up six runs (five earned) while posting a 4:5 K:BB through 3.1 innings across five appearances as a Padre. For the season, he has a 5.06 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 63:16 K:BB while going 29-for-32 in save chances through 37.1 innings across 42 appearances.

Hader allowed three runs on a hit, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Hader was looking for his first save as a Padre, but he labored in the ninth inning, twice issuing bases-loaded walks before giving up the tying run on a sacrifice fly. He needed 37 pitches (19 strikes) in the shaky outing, and he would also be denied the win as Tim Hill finished the frame before the Padres walked it off. Hader had a shaky stretch just before the All-Star break, and he's now given up four runs through seven innings in the second half. The closer is 29-for-32 in save chances while adding a 4.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 63:15 K:BB through 36.2 innings this year.

Hader (2-4) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from Milwaukee on Monday, Hader entered a 2-2 game and breezed through the bottom of the Colorado order before fellow ex-Brewer Trent Grisham walked it off with a solo shot. Hader had some uncharacteristic stumbles before the All-Star break, but in five appearances since he's allowed only one run in five innings with an 8:1 K:BB, and he should provide the Padres with some stability in the closer role.

The Padres acquired Hader from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for left-handers Taylor Rogers and Robert Gasser, right-hander Dinelson Lamet and outfielder Esteury Ruiz, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Diego will part with an extensive package of established big-league pitching talent (Rogers and Lamet) and two prospects (Ruiz and Gasser) to fortify the back of its bullpen with Hader, a four-time All-Star who has arguably been baseball's top reliever since he reached the majors in 2017. Hader has proven more vulnerable to the long ball in 2022 and has seen his ratios suffer a bit as a result (4.24 ERA, 1.12 WHIP), but he's still sporting a massive 33.3 K-BB% and had converted 29 of his 31 save chances on the year. He'll provide a significant upgrade at closer over Rogers, who had recently been dropped from the role after a series of poor outings. The Brewers, meanwhile, are likely to either elevate ace setup man Devin Williams to the closer's role or give Rogers a chance to reclaim his old job as he changes organizations.

Hader allowed one hit and struck out three batters in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his league-leading 29th save in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. He did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander threw only 12 of 22 pitches for strikes, and the only blemish against him was a one-out single from Bobby Dalbec. Hader gave up 12 runs over his last six outings prior to the All-Star break, though he's been better since the intermission with one run allowed and a 7:1 K:BB across four frames. He doesn't appear to be fully back to his dominant early-season form but is trending in the right direction.

Hader picked up a save Sunday, allowing a run on two hits while striking out two in a 10-9 victory over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out the first two batters, Hader gave up a triple and a single to cut the lead to one. With Kris Bryant at the plate, Hader got behind in the count 2-0 before getting Bryant to softly ground out, ending the game. Hader has earned the save in three of his last four opportunities despite allowing 13 runs over his last 6.1 frames. The lefty has seen his ERA jump from 1.05 on July 3 to 4.50 after Sunday's outing. With the Brewers battling for a spot in the postseason, manager Craig Counsell may be less patient with Hader if his struggles continue.

Hader (0-4) allowed six runs on five hits and a hit batter in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Hader gave up three home runs, including a walkoff grand slam to Mike Yastrzemski after solo shots from Joey Bart and Darin Ruf made it a one-run game. After starting the year in dominant form for two months, Hader's season has taken a sour turn of late. He's allowed 15 runs across 12.1 innings in his last 14 appearances, which includes both of his blown saves this year. He's 27-for-29 in save chances with a 4.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 52:11 K:BB in 30 innings overall. Extended struggles haven't often been a thing in the southpaw's career, so it's worth monitoring how he responds after the All-Star break.

Hader (0-3) allowed three earned runs on two hits and a walk without recording an out to take the loss Wednesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Hader entered the game with the score knotted at one in the ninth inning, but he served up a walk-off three-run home run to Jose Miranda. While it doesn't change his outlook much in the long term, Hader has now allowed at least one earned run in four of his last five appearances. He's still managed two saves in that span but has also taken two losses. Despite the recent struggles, Hader still owns a 2.73 ERA with a 52:11 K:BB across 29.2 frames for the season.

Hader earned the save Tuesday, striking out the side in the ninth in a 6-3 win in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Hader fanned Gio Urshela, Gary Sanchez, and Luis Arraez to close out the game and pick up his 27th save. Earlier Tuesday it was reported that Hader was on the bereavement list but that announcement was made erroneously and the lefty was available to close out Tuesday's game. It was the fourth time this season that he closed out a game by striking out the side. He is now 27-for-28 in save chances and continues to dominate opponents with 52 strikeouts in 29.2 innings.

Hader is actually not on the bereavement list, but he won't be attending the All-Star Game, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

MLB Public Relations had made an error in its announcement about Carlos Rodon replacing Hader on the All-Star roster. Hader will be available in Milwaukee's bullpen through the end of the week and after the break as well, barring injury.
