Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito has elbow repaired with internal brace, expected to miss season
Associated PressTAMPA, Fla. — Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito is expected to miss this season after his right ulnar collateral ligament was repaired with an internal brace. Giolito was able to avoid ligament replacement surgery, which he had on Aug. 31, 2012, with Dr. Lewis Yocum, less than two months after Washington made Giolito its top pick in the 2012 amateur draft. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said before Wednesday’s game at the New York Yankees he doesn’t think Giolito will take the mound again in 2024. “Seeing what has happened with this procedure in the past, he’s going to be able to go out there and throw his changeup and his good fastball and help the Red Sox win some more games.” Giolito, who signed a $38.5 million, two-year deal with the Red Sox, turns 30 in July.
