Red Sox Get Tough Injury News on Player They Would Love to Get Back
This is a tough blow to the Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox have faced a setback as right-handed reliever Justin Slaten is currently sidelined with an elbow issue. The team has dealt with numerous injuries this season, which has contributed to their inconsistent performance. If healthy, the Red Sox would likely rank among the top teams in baseball, at least in terms of their record.
Slaten, who made his debut this season, has a 2.93 ERA in 55.1 innings and a 3.03 FIP in 31.1 innings, highlighting his value to the bullpen. He has been dealing with elbow soreness for 18 days and there are no plans to ramp him up before he returns. Slaten's second injury this season means he will miss more time than usual, despite his consistent performance when healthy.
