Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Blows save, takes loss Thursday
Slaten (0-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-2 defeat to the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one inning.
One game after giving up the game-ending run, albeit one that was unearned in extra innings, Slaten's showing Thursday was far less excusable. The right-hander gave up a go-ahead three-run home run to Vladimir Guerrero in the eighth inning, taking his first blown save of the season. Slaten now holds a 5.56 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings this season, though he's been charged with an earned run in just two of his 13 outings.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Notches third save
Slaten picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win against the White Sox, pitching a clean inning with one strikeout.
Slaten efficiently secured the win, requiring only 12 pitches -- 10 of which were strikes -- to retire the side in order. Aroldis Chapman pitched the eighth inning, as he was called upon to face the top of the Chicago lineup. However, this outing shows that Slaten could be in line for more save opportunities as Boston manager Alex Cora may look to deploy Chapman in the highest leverage spots. Although Slaten owns a 4.00 ERA, his performance has been much better under the hood, pitching to a 1.59 FIP, 0.56 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB across nine innings.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Slams door for second save
Slaten earned the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Wednesday's win over the Rays. He struck out two.
Slaten faced little resistance, retiring the side on just 11 pitches (eight strikes) for his second save of the season. Aroldis Chapman remains the favorite for save opportunities out of the Boston bullpen, although the left-hander can cede the occasional chance based on certain matchups. The right-handed Slaten, who now holds a 5.14 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB through seven innings, was called upon to face three right-handed batters Wednesday.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Notches save in opener
Slaten struck out one and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Rangers.
Closer Aroldis Chapman entered for the eighth inning with the game tied 2-2, as the lefty-hitting Corey Seager was batting leadoff, opening up the ninth inning for Slaten after Boston took the lead. The right-hander recorded two saves and 13 holds with a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB across 55.1 innings as a rookie last season, and he's one of the Red Sox's top relief arms again in 2025, even if Chapman is expected to be the primary closer early on.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Notches second save
Slaten allowed one hit and zero walks in a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season in Sunday's season finale against Tampa Bay.
Slaten allowed a bunt single to Dylan Carlson to lead off the ninth but otherwise had no trouble wrapping things up. With incumbent closer Kenley Jansen on the injured list, Slaten was able to notch his first save since March 31. The 27-year-old Slaten had an encouraging rookie season out of the Red Sox bullpen, pitching to a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB in 55.1 innings with six wins, 13 holds and two saves. The 37-year-old Jansen is set to become a free agent, so Slaten could find himself in the mix for saves next season.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Candidate for saves
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that he will "mix and match" at closer with Slaten and Chris Martin following the season-ending injury to Kenley Jansen (shoulder), Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Slaten has looked sharp since returning from his elbow injury last month, posting a 1.69 ERA and 12:2 K:BB over 10.2 innings covering 11 appearances. Cora indicated Sunday that he envisions the Rule 5 pick as a potential long-term closer option, and the 27-year-old could get a look in the role this week. Jansen is an impending free agent, so Boston will be looking for a new closer next season.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Returns to mound Monday
Slaten struck out one over a scoreless inning in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Toronto.
Slaten, who was activated from the 15-day injured list earlier in the day, made his first appearance for the Red Sox since July 7. He came on in the fourth inning and worked around an infield error. The Red Sox have felt Slaten's loss, and they hope the right-hander can stabilize what has been a shaky bullpen in the second half.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Returns from IL
The Red Sox activated Slaten (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Slaten has been shelved since just before the All-Star break with right elbow inflammation, but he's been cleared to return after allowing one run while retiring one batter in his lone rehab appearance. The righty has been an excellent find for the Red Sox as a Rule 5 pick, having collected a 3.38 ERA and 45:9 K:BB over 42.2 frames.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Throws bullpen Sunday
Slaten threw a bullpen session prior to Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Slaten began a rehab assignment Friday for Double-A Portland, in which he exhibited shaky command, and Sunday's session was to address those issues. Boston manager Alex Cora told MLB.com that Slaten will most likely be with the Red Sox "in the upcoming days." That could mean at least one more rehab appearance for the right-hander.
