Justin Slaten Gives Good News On His Injury
Justin Slaten Gives Good News On His Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has been a bad few weeks for the Boston Red Sox and most of the top players. Between inconsistencies and injuries, the team has struggled to catch a break as they are now several games under .500%. There is some good news for Boston involving their pitching rotation and top reliever Justin Slaten. Slaten told MassLive's Chris Contillo that his shoulder injury is mild and more caused by fatigue and overuse. Slaten also said that he hopes to be off IL after the minimum 15 days have finished. Advertisement The last Slaten played, he allowed two runs and one hit in 16 pitches in last Wednesday's 6-5 loss in extra innings to the Milwaukee Brewers. Slaten is playing in his second season for Boston. He has appeared in 24 games and 23.1 innings, where he allowed 14 hits, 12 runs (one of them being a home run) and seven walks while delivering 16 strikeouts. He has a season ERA of 3.47. © Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images Slaten has been one of the more efficient relief pitchers for the Red Sox this season despite having some tough performances in the last few games played. While having some good pitching moments, he has possessed a 1-4 record but has three quality saves. That is the second-most on the roster following star relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman. Advertisement Boston will need as much help as they can get in every portion of the pitching rotation. Luckily for the Red Sox, Slaten's shoulder injury isn't concerning as he could return to the lineup sooner than later.
