Tuesday's loss to the Detroit Tigers was a reminder for the Houston Astros that they may want to keep a close eye on the waiver wire as they look for potential reinforcements. The Astros will presumably be without Josh Hader for the remainder of the regular season, and in hopes of stabilizing their bullpen, the end of August may provide some hope.
As a reminder, any player added to a team's Major League roster after August 31 is not eligible for the postseason. As such, at the end of August, non-contending teams often use waivers in an attempt to trim payroll before the end of the season.
