Hader (illness) was activated off the COVID-19 injured list as expected Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hader tested positive for the virus back in early August, but he was able to keep throwing while on the injured list, per Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin. That suggests he should be at full strength right away and should immediately return to his normal closer role. Devin Williams will return to his usual setup role.
