Red Sox placed RHP Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

As anticipated, Slaten hits the injured list due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. No word yet from the team on how long he’s expected to be sidelined for, but he’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. Raymond Burgos was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to replace him in the Red Sox’ bullpen.
