Things have gone from bad to worse recently for the Houston Astros bullpen. Earlier this year the Astros bullpen took a huge blow when Josh Hader went down with a shoulder injury that will keep him out for the rest of the regular season, at least.
Unfortunately, the loss of Hader was made even worse recently when general manager Dana Brown said on the team’s pregame show that relievers Kaleb Ort and Bennett Sousa also will be out until the end of the regular season due to their arm injuries.
While neither of them are the kind of pitcher that Hader is, they’re both important arms who were going to be heavily relied on as the Astros try to hold off the Astros in their quest for the National League Central title.
