Extends scoreless stretch Slated retired all five batters faced to earn a hold in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets.

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.

Impact One game after giving up the winning run, albeit one that was unearned in extra innings in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, 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, and it wouldn't be surprising if he starts to lose some high-leverage work to Garrett Whitlock and Liam Hendriks in Boston's bullpen.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Closer Aroldis Chapman entered for the eighth inning with the game tied 2-2 since the lefty-hitting Corey Seager was batting leadoff, opening up the ninth inning for Slaten after Boston scored three runs. 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.

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.

Impact Slaten allowed a bunt single to Dylan Carlson to lead off the ninth, but he induced a foul-out and a pair of line-outs to end the game and bring the Red Sox record to a fitting 81-81. 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, adding six wins, 13 holds and two saves in six chances. With the 37-year-old Jansen hitting free agency, Slaten could find himself in the mix for saves next season.

Impact 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 a look in the role this week. Jansen is an impending free agent, so Boston will be looking for a new closer next season.

Returns to mound Monday Slaten struck out one over a scoreless inning in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Toronto.

Impact 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.

Returns from IL The Red Sox activated Slaten (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.
