Slaten was placed on the injured list over the weekend. There should be an update on a potential timetable for his return later this week.

The Red Sox placed RHP Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

Slaten does not hold a clear timetable to return. Raymond Burgos was recalled as the corresponding move.

Slaten has now allowed four runs twice in his last four appearances. He had held left-handed hitters to just one hit and one walk over 23 plate appearances entering Sunday before Cody Bellinger homered to break a 1-1 tie after Slaten had struck out the first two batters he faced, including Ben Rice.

The inning unraveled from there, with Slaten finishing with four runs allowed on three hits and a walk across two-thirds of an inning in the 6-1 loss to New York.

The Red Sox activated Justin Slaten from the injured list.

Slaten makes his return this weekend as had been previously reported. He'll return to a middle-relief role in the bullpen.

Justin Slaten is expected to be activated on Saturday or Sunday.

Slaten has made two appearances during his minor league rehab assignment, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters across two innings. He is expected to resume his usual setup role once activated.
