Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten is likely done for the season
Arlington, Texas (AP) — Boston Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten is projected to miss the remainder of the season due to persistent right elbow inflammation. The 2-4 pitcher with a 4.60 ERA this season was examined by the team's medical staff and renowned elbow surgeon Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday. Slaten underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection, which likely marks the end of his season.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy announced Slaten's prognosis following the team's opener against the Texas Rangers. The left-handed starter Garrett Crochet, sidelined since late April with left shoulder inflammation and a lat strain, threw 30 pitches in Tuesday's game.
