Lucas Giolito, recently signed by the Boston Red Sox for a two-year, $38.5 million contract in late December, has suffered a partially torn UCL and flexor strain, putting his participation for the 2024 season in jeopardy. Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced the pitcher's condition, which could result in him missing the entire season. This injury exacerbates the team's already critical shortage of starting rotation depth. The Red Sox, described as being in a precarious situation, may now be forced into making additional moves to bolster their pitching lineup. The injury to Giolito, one of the most durable pitchers, raises questions about the circumstances leading to such a significant setback.
I’m glad Lucas Giolito at least got paid before getting hurt. That sucks for him though. I’ll always like him despite what a lot of Sox fans think.

Without saying Giolito has a torn ligament, Breslow acknowledged there’s a “real injury” and time would be missed. Said he has faith in the starters here.
Random thought about the Giolito injury: For a guy that’s been one of the most durable pitchers out there, it makes me wonder how this happened. Was this a ticking time bomb over the last couple years, and his elbow decided to give out this spring? Or did the Red Sox do…

UGGGGGGH. Lucas Giolito was just getting his velocity back and now he has a partially torn UCL and may miss all of 2024. It does mean Whitlock and Houck are both in the rotation now (unless they sign JorMont/Snell), but not like this. Not like this. https://t.co/VgW9jEXJlv
