Jun 28 2025 | The Red Sox transferred Slaten (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move to the 60-day IL means that Slaten will not return to the majors until late July. The move isn't all that surprising, considering the 27-year-old right-hander was recently cleared to start a throwing program as he works through right shoulder inflammation. In corresponding moves, Boston placed Luis Guerrero (elbow) on the 15-day IL and reinstated Chris Murphy (elbow) from the 60-day IL. |

Jun 27 2025 | Slaten (shoulder) is scheduled to play catch Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will be the right-hander's first time throwing since he landed on the injured list nearly a month ago due to shoulder inflammation. Slaten will require some time to build back up in his throwing program, so he shouldn't be expected to rejoin the Red Sox until after the All-Star break. |

Jun 13 2025 | Slaten (shoulder) hasn't started playing catch yet, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reported Friday | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Slaten has been shut down from throwing for nearly two weeks, having not played catch since hitting the injured list June 1 with right shoulder inflammation. It's unclear when he'll get the green light to throw, but he may not be ready to go until July. |

Jun 7 2025 | Slaten (shoulder) has yet to play catch since being placed on the injured list Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Slaten was diagnosed with shoulder fatigue when he was placed on the injured list, so the issue didn't appear to be overly serious. However, he's likely to be sidelined until at least late June given his lack of progress. |

Jun 1 2025 | The Red Sox placed Slaten on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Slaten experienced some fatigue after his most recent appearance in Milwaukee on Wednesday, when he took the loss and a blown save after giving up two unearned runs in one-third of an inning. The right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated June 13, and he could be ready to rejoin the Red Sox at that point since his injury doesn't appear to be overly serious. |

May 21 2025 | Slaten retired all five batters faced to earn a hold in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Slaten entered the middle of the seventh inning with a runner at first base and induced a double-play grounder to squelch the threat. He then got three harmless groundouts in the eighth. Slaten endured a three-game hiccup at the end of April/beginning of May (six runs, 2.1 innings), but the right-hander has been on point since. Tuesday's work extended a scoreless streak to 7.2 innings, during which he hasn't allowed a hit or a walk. |

May 1 2025 | Slaten (0-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-2 defeat to the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One game after giving up the game-ending run, albeit one that was unearned in extra innings in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, Slaten's showing Thursday was far less excusable. The right-hander gave up a go-ahead three-run home run to Vladimir Guerrero in the eighth inning, taking his first blown save of the season. Slaten now holds a 5.56 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings, and it wouldn't be surprising if he starts to lose some high-leverage work to Garrett Whitlock and Liam Hendriks in Boston's bullpen. |
