## Resource

Red Sox pitcher Justin Slaten’s season is over after doctors found degenerative changes in his elbow, requiring a PRP injection and rehab — ruling him out for the rest of the year. Already sidelined with persistent inflammation, his absence confirms Boston’s bullpen plans without him. At 29, Slaten had a solid campaign: 31⅓ innings, 39 strikeouts, and a 4.60 ERA, vital for middle and late-inning relief alongside Whitlock. His exit opens doors for prospects like Wyatt Olds or Tanner Houck (on rehab), while Tyron Guerrero could return soon and Aroldis Chapman remains the closer.
