The White Sox placed Slater on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Analysis: It was unclear why Slater was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game, but those questions have now been answered. The White Sox haven't established a return timeline for the 32-year-old just yet, but he'll likely be sidelined for a few months. Greg Jones was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.
