8/02/25	Red Sox Receive Tremendous News On Injured Contributor. The Boston Red Sox have been without one of their most impactful relievers for two months, but it doesn't look like they'll need to wait much longer for his return. Justin Slaten's unidentified injury has been… well, identified. Slaten, who has not appeared in a game since May 28, had been dealing with an oddly mysterious neck/shoulder injury that caused him to be shut down from his throwing program on numerous occasions. Slaten, however, shared he feels “back to normal” on Saturday, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/08/red-sox-receive-tremendou...
7/29/25	As Red Sox await news on two key injured players; Justin Slaten takes 'good first step'. The Red Sox remain in fact-finding mode when it comes to two key injured players who are not with the club on its quick road trip to Minneapolis. Manager Alex Cora didn't have much in the way of updates on starter Tanner Houck (right flexor pronator strain) or Marcelo Mayer (right wrist sprain) but indications are that neither player is close to rejoining the major league roster. Both Houck and Mayer continue to seek opinions and get tests on their respective injuries, with Boston hoping to know more by the time the team returns home to face the Astros this weekend. “With both cases, the more information we get during the week, the more clear we'll be on the weekend,” said Cora.

7/25/25	Red Sox Issue Positive Update On Forgotten Relief Pitcher. The Boston Red Sox have finally received some good news regarding Justin Slaten. Slaten, who hasn't pitched in almost two months, has repeatedly undergone setbacks from the right shoulder inflammation that sent him to the injured list on June 1. Boston was perplexed with the majority of them, eventually finding out he'd been dealing with a nerve issue. Red Sox manager Alex Cora issued his latest update on the right-hander on Friday. “Slaten says that he's feeling better, so hopefully next week we can move forward and take a step toward being on the mound,” Cora said, as transcribed by MassLive's Christopher Smith.

Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten, who has been on the injured list since June 1 with right shoulder inflammation, has begun playing catch again. Slaten played catch on June 27 but the Red Sox halted his throwing progression at that point and limited him to plyo work in the gym “to get his strength back.” “Just playing catch but that's a big step,” manager Alex Cora said before Boston's game against the Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

On the day the Red Sox placed Slaten on the IL, he said he was dealing with “a little bit of fatigue” and he didn't think the injury “anything super serious.” Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2025/07/injured-re...

The right-hander played catch Friday for the first time since getting injured, Masslive.com's Christopher Smith reported Saturday.

6/15/25	Red Sox Pitcher Dealing With Oddly Mysterious Injury. The Boston Red Sox will send the majority of their pitchers to the injured list at some point this season, which has become standard operating procedure in recent years for most teams across MLB. It's pretty rare for things to reach the point they have with Justin Slaten, though. Slaten is currently sitting on the injured list with an unidentifiable neck/shoulder injury that will keep him on the shelf indefinitely, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Slaten discussed the injury over the weekend, though everyone is still trying to figure out what is going on. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/06/red-sox-pitcher-dealing-w...

6/10/25	Alex Cora provides ominous report on key Red Sox reliever, plus other injury updates. It had been the Red Sox' hope that reliever Justin Slaten would only miss a short period of time when he was first placed on the IL earlier this month. “It's slower than we expected,” said Alex Cora. Slaten was being counted on as a high-leverage option while occasionally handling closing duties when Aroldis Chapman wasn't available. “It's a big (loss),” said Cora.

6/08/25	Key Red Sox Pitcher Still Far From Return. Since the beginning of May, the bullpen has thrown 141.2 innings. Only the Milwaukee Brewers have used their bullpen more over that span. Justin Slaten was a key contributor in the bullpen early this season, often coming in for the seventh or eighth inning in close games. According to Baseball Reference, 18 of Slaten's 24 appearances were “high leverage”. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/06/red-sox-rumors-key-pitche...
6/01/25	Red Sox put RHP Justin Slaten (shoulder) on 15-day IL. The Boston Red Sox put right-handed reliever Justin Slaten on the 15-day injury list due to shoulder inflammation. It was one of several roster moves the Red Sox made Sunday morning, which included replacing Slaten on the roster with right-hander Luis Guerrero. The latter was called up from Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox also selected the contract of utility player Nate Eaton and optioned infielder Nick Sogard to Triple-A, designating catcher Blake Sabol for assignment to clear roster space.

6/01/25	Red Sox' Justin Slaten describes shoulder injury, gives timeline for return. The Red Sox bullpen took another hit Sunday, but the team is hopeful Justin Slaten's shoulder injury won't be a long-term thing. Boston placed Slaten on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 29, with right shoulder inflammation and recalled Luis Guerrero from the WooSox to take his place. Slaten hasn't pitched since Wednesday in Milwaukee. “Having a little bit of fatigue right now,” Slaten said. Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2025/06/red-sox-ju...

4/23/25	Red Sox Could Target Twins' $4.1 Million Fireballer In Trade Deadline Surprise. The Boston Red Sox should be one of Major League Baseball's most active teams at the 2025 trade deadline. Every contender needs a strong bullpen, and the Red Sox are a little thin in that category. Beyond Justin Slaten, Garrett Whitlock, and Aroldis Chapman, the Red Sox have struggled to get quality innings from their middle relievers.

4/22/25	Red Sox Have Reason To Inquire About Athletics' $10 Million Reliever. The Boston Red Sox would be wise to keep an eye on the trade market for late-inning relievers. Justin Slaten is beginning to show signs that he could be Boston's closer, but nothing is set in stone. Aroldis Chapman began the season as the closer but hasn't been outstanding (Chapman allowed a home run on Monday), and Liam Hendriks's capabilities in 2025 are still impossible to predict. If Boston is serious about contending — as it should be with its current roster — chief baseball officer Craig Breslow needs to ensure that the Red Sox bullpen is supplied with enough talent to close games in October.
