The Red Sox signed righty Lucas Giolito in the hopes of him being a key player this season. However, those hopes have been dashed as he deals with discomfort in his right elbow, likely putting him on the injured list for the start of the season and possibly beyond.
Giolito expressed his disappointment at the situation, emphasizing his dedication to staying healthy and how much it sucks to be dealing with a serious injury after so long. The team is still evaluating the extent of the injury, with initial tests showing a partially torn UCL and flexor strain, potentially jeopardizing his entire 2024 season.
The Red Sox are facing a significant loss with Giolito's injury, as the rotation was already a question mark even with him. The team is considering options to either seek external additions like Jordan Montgomery or rely on their young pitchers to step up this season.
The absence of Giolito will put more pressure on Nick Pivetta and the young core of pitchers to deliver this season. The team will have to regroup and figure out the best path forward without their expected innings leader in the rotation.
