Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten is likely done for the season
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Boston Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten likely will miss the rest of the season after being on the injured list the past month because of right elbow inflammation.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Tuesday that Slaten went with team medical staff to see Texas Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister, an orthopedic surgeon well known for treating elbows.
“There was some degenerative changes in the flexor mass. So he’s going to be down,” Tracy said before the opener of a three-game series in Texas. “He’s going to get a (platelet-rich plasma) injection and likely going to end his season.”
