Translation: It was a repair, not Tommy John surgery. That should allow him to come back earlier for next season. https://t.co/MZ1D8cWbvm
Red Sox announce that Giolito had an internal brace procedure as an ulnar collateral ligament "repair" -- rather than a reconstruction (full Tommy John). Normal recovery from that procedure would mean a pretty full offseason and full availability for 2025.
From the Red Sox: Lucas Giolito yesterday underwent a successful right elbow ulnar collateral ligament repair with internal brace. The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas.
Red Sox had no update on Lucas Giolito's elbow surgery in Alabama this afternoon. Question is whether he'll require Tommy John or an internal brace procedure. The brace would likely allow him to return earlier next season.
