EDGE Analysis

Hader's dominance has come to be expected at this point, so the impressive two-strikeout perfect inning feels merely run-of-the-mill. In fact, the left-hander has struck out multiple batters in five of his past seven outings -- each of which has been exactly one inning in length. Hader has left no doubt about his status as the league's best closer, tying for the MLB lead with 21 saves while posting a minuscule 0.83 ERA and 0.60 WHIP along with an absurd 36:6 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Hader hadn't pitched since last Sunday after welcoming a son to his family last week. The 28-year-old was as dominant as ever in picking up his 20th save in 21 tries, facing the minimum three batters after Brendan Donovan was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double. it appears Hader won't let the one blemish on his game log (June 7 versus the Phillies) spiral into a slump.

Aaron Ashby (forearm) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Hader (paternity list) will rejoin the Brewers for their homestand that begins Monday against the Cardinals, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hader has made only three appearances in June -- including his first blown save and loss of the season -- with the Brewers in free fall, and he'll now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family. Assuming there's no complications, the left-hander should be back by Saturday's contest in Cincinnati. Devin Williams is the likely candidate to receive any save opportunities in the meantime.
