Justin Slaten of Boston Red Sox Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Shoulder Injury

Justin Slaten has been a reliable reliever for the Red Sox, with a solid ERA of 3.47 this season. He appeared in 24 games, helping close out tight situations. His absence may affect the bullpen's depth and the team's ability to manage late innings.

With Slaten out, other relievers like Greg Weissert and Justin Wilson might see more opportunities. The Red Sox's upcoming games against teams like the Braves will test the bullpen's adaptability. The team will need to fill the gap left by Slaten's placement on the injured list.
