2025 Fantasy Outlook
Slaten, a 2019 draft pick by the Rangers, was selected by the Mets during the Rule 5 Draft last offseason. The 26-year-old was subsequently traded to Boston and impressed his new club during Grapefruit League play, flashing upper-90's velocity. Unsurprisingly, he made the Red Sox Opening Day roster and remained with the team all year. Slaten was an immediate fixture in Boston's high-leverage hierarchy, mixing four pitches effectively to a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB across 55.1 frames. The rookie right-hander recorded 10 or more strikeouts on all four of his offerings, including 18 apiece on his four-seamer and sweeper. Elbow inflammation cost Slaten a month-and-a-half last summer, but it's exciting to think about what he could offer in a full season. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said in the past that he envisions Slaten as a potential long-term closer option and he certainly has the talent to emerge out of a save share with Liam Hendriks and Aroldis Chapman in 2025.

Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in March of 2025.
Moved to 60-day IL
The Red Sox transferred Slaten (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Analysis
The move to the 60-day IL means that Slaten will not return to the majors until late July. The move isn't all that surprising, considering the 27-year-old right-hander was recently cleared to start a throwing program as he works through right shoulder inflammation. In corresponding moves, Boston placed Luis Guerrero (elbow) on the 15-day IL and reinstated Chris Murphy (elbow) from the 60-day IL.
