Fantasy Impact:

Hader has been progressing from bicep inflammation in his pitching arm, and his most recent bullpen session reportedly went well. Still, the six-time All-Star will simply need time beyond Opening Day to fully build up his arm before being ready to take the mound for the Astros. Bryan Abreu will likely take on closing duties until Hader returns.
