What's Happening?
Justin Slaten, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Monday and Wednesday as part of his recovery from a shoulder injury. The second session will include an 'up-and-down,' a step towards facing hitters, which is the final phase before Slaten can begin a rehab assignment.
Why It's Important?
Slaten's scheduled bullpen sessions are a positive sign for the Red Sox, indicating progress in his recovery. His return to pitching could strengthen the team's bullpen, providing more options for game strategy and relief pitching. The successful completion of these sessions is crucial for Slaten's transition back to active play, impacting the team's overall pitching depth and performance.
