Hader will not participate in the All-Star Game due to back stiffness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers haven't placed Hader on the injured list but have listed him as day-to-day. He'll skip the midseason exhibition to rest, with his teammate Brandon Woodruff earning an All-Star nod in his place.

Hader walked a batter and earned a strikeout in 1.1 innings during a hold in a 7-6 victory against the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers turned to Hader in the bottom of the seventh while holding a 2-1 lead. Hader recorded the final out of that frame and then made it through the eighth without allowing a hit. The Brewers scored four runs in their top of the eighth, so with a five-run lead, they elected to go with a different pitcher in a non-save situation for the ninth. That decision proved to be costly because the Pirates forced extra innings, but Hader is still 1-3 with 20 saves, 2.09 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 43 innings this season.

Hader struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 20th save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw has now reeled off eight straight scoreless appearances, posting a typically dominant 20:4 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that stretch. Hader has only blown one save so far this season, and his 1.77 ERA and 17.04 K/9 continue to put him among the league's elite relievers.

Hader completed two spotless innings against the Mariners on Thursday, striking out three batters to earn the save.
EDGE Analysis
Hader was summoned in the eighth inning to protect a three-run lead and made things look easy, retiring all six batters he faced -- including three by strikeout -- to earn his 19th save. It was the third straight outing of exactly two-innings for Hader, each of which has resulted in a blemish-free save. After posting an uncharacteristic 4.63 ERA in April, the 25-year-old has been downright dominant in May and June, allowing only two runs while striking out 45 batters in 25 innings.

Hader struck out four over two perfect innings to nail down his 18th save in a 6-5 victory over the Reds on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The dominant left-hander was extremely efficient, retiring six hitters on 18 pitches. Amazingly, Hader averaged four pitches per batter to the four hitters he struck out and then retired the other two on one-pitch groundouts. Hader is 18-for-19 in save opportunities with a 1.91 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 37.2 innings this season.

Hader struck out three and did not allow a baserunner across two scoreless innings to earn his 17th save of the season against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Hader came on in the eighth inning to protect a two-run lead, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. He came back out for the ninth and made quick work of it, including outs on three consecutive pitches to end the game. Hader continues to rack up saves and strikeouts, making him a top-notch closer for fantasy purposes.

Hader threw a scoreless 10th inning in Wednesday's 14-inning victory over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Craig Counsell may have envisioned Hader pitching two innings Wednesday if needed, but Hader was not particularly sharp, walking two batters and failing to record a strikeout for just the second time in 26 appearances this season. Regardless, Hader got the job done, and lowered his ERA to 2.14 in the process. He remains the closer for the Brewers.

Hader struck out three and walked one in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates for the save.
EDGE Analysis
Hader issued a walk to begin the ninth inning, but he would go on to punch out the next three batters to secure a 5-2 victory for Milwaukee. The 25-year-old lefty continues to be a force out of the bullpen this season for the Brewers, posting a 2.20 ERA and 0.70 WHIP with a 66:10 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

Hader struck out the side in the ninth inning to post his 15th save of the season in a 5-3 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old clearly got his revenge against the one team he's blown a save against this year. Hader needed just 13 pitches, 11 of which he threw for strikes, to strike out the side. Hader is just 1-3, but he's 15-for-16 in save opportunities with a 2.27 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 63 strikeouts in 31.2 innings this year.
