Josh Hader apologized Wednesday night for racist and homophobic tweets he had made in 2011-12. He attributed it to being "young, immature and stupid.” (Jeff Passan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Hader has been one of the most dominant relief pitchers in the league heading into the break, but his three-run eight inning during the All-Star game was the least of his concerns Wednesday night. With 89 strikeouts over 48 innings pitched and a 1.50 ERA to go along with a 0.79 WHIP, owners will hope that this doesn't derail the 24-year-old lefty. He'll address his teammates before play resumes and will accept any consequences of his past actions.
