What a huge boost for the Red Sox bullpen. Slaten has been out since May 29 with a nerve issue in his neck and inflammation in his shoulder. He has looked good during his rehab assignment and should go right back into high-leverage innings along with Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock.

Slaten has now thrown three scoreless innings in Triple-A as he rehabs from a nerve-related issue in his neck that led to shoulder inflammation. He has allowed just one hit and an unearned run while striking out five in those three games and seems primed to return to high-leverage innings alongside Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman as early as Monday.

The 27-year-old hurler will pitch again at Triple-A Worcester on Friday and will do so again on Sunday. If all goes well with those two outings, he’ll be cleared to return to the Red Sox’ bullpen to start next week. Slaten has been sidelined since the start of June due to inflammation in his shoulder.

Slaten was a key component of Boston’s relief mix last year as a Rule 5 pickup, but he’s been out since early June recovering from a nerve issue in his neck that led to shoulder inflammation. He’s going to be racing the clock to make it back to Fenway Park before the regular season wraps up, but he’s starting to make some real progress.

The Red Sox reliever has been sidelined since June 1st with a shoulder issue. The team recently discovered that the transverse bone was growing into a nerve in his neck, which was causing nerve issues. Now that the issue has been fixed, Slaten is feeling much better, and the team is hopeful that he can return by the end of the month.

Slaten was pulled off his throwing program a week ago to help rebuild strength, and now is feeling well enough to return to his rehab program. Slaten could be an option for the Red Sox for the final month-plus of 2025.

The 27-year-old right-hander is still shut down from throwing while dealing with a nerve-related issue in his neck. Nothing has changed in his prognosis, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the return of Chris Murphy on Saturday.

Slaten is dealing with a nerve-related issue in his neck, which led to shoulder inflammation, and remains completely shut down. It certainly sounds like he won’t be an option for Boston’s relief mix until the later stages of the second half.

The nerve issue is directly impacting his right shoulder, which has kept the high-leverage reliever from resuming a throwing program. The 27-year-old is likely facing an extended absence given this latest development and fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate him returning until after next month’s All-Star break.

Slaten hit the injured list earlier this month with shoulder inflammation and isn’t progressing as quickly as hoped, according to Red Sox manager Alex Cora. The 27-year-old’s absence is a hit to Boston’s high-leverage mix and it doesn’t sound like he’s going to return for at least a few weeks considering he hasn’t re-started a throwing program.

Shoulder issues are never good. No word yet on the severity, which will determine how much time Slaten winds up missing. It’s a definite hit to Boston’s high-leverage mix as the 27-year-old righty was one of the main cogs helping bridge the gap to veteran lefty Aroldis Chapman. He hasn’t been missing bats of late and the emergence of a shoulder issue might explain that development.

Slaten, who followed Aroldis Chapman after Chapman worked a scoreless ninth in a tie game, had the pitching part down, getting two grounders and a routine fly after entering with a one-run lead in the 10th. Unfortunately, he was slow to cover first on the first of those grounders, resulting in an infield single. On the second grounder, Kristian Campbell decided to go home instead of trying for a double play and made a horrible throw, scoring the tying run and putting the winning run on third with no outs. That meant the routine fly was enough to end the game. We’re not sure who will take the fall for Boston’s losing streak, but something is going to change during the off day tomorrow.

Manager Alex Cora had Aroldis Chapman face the top of the order in the eighth. Chapman gave up a homer to Andrew Benintendi and had Luis Robert Jr. reach when Jarren Duran dropped a flyball for an error, but he retired the other three batters he faced. Slaten then made quick work of the bottom of the order. Chapman remains the favorite for saves in Boston, but Cora is showing flexibility in how he uses his lefty, making Slaten and Garrett Whitlock roster options in deep leagues.

It was Slaten’s first save since getting the call back on Opening Day against the Rangers. The 27-year-old righty was summoned by Red Sox manager Alex Cora to protect a one-run advantage with Aroldis Chapman unavailable after pitching three of the last four nights. He got Junior Caminero to fly out before striking out Christopher Morel and José Caballero to end it. He’ll continue to vulture the occasional save chance for Boston whenever Chapman needs a breather.
