Wilyer Abreu looked like a candidate to be placed on the injured list Monday after leaving Sunday’s loss with right calf tightness. It was another outfielder, though, who hit the shelf in a series of pregame roster moves.

The Red Sox may see some relief help arriving soon in the form of Justin Slaten, who is ramping up after being out since June 1 with a shoulder/neck injury. He threw his third bullpen on Friday and is scheduled for a live batting practice session on Monday. If all goes well, his next step would be another live BP or a rehab assignment.
