Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, as widely expected, will have to go under the knife.<\/p>\n

Boston manager Alex Cora announced Monday after his team\u2019s spring training game against Pittsburgh that\u00a0Giolito will undergo surgery\u00a0on his right throwing elbow Tuesday.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s still unclear, though, is the full extent of Giolito\u2019s injury. Either way, it\u2019s not good for this season. Giolito will either need full Tommy John surgery, a move that will put his status for the start of 2025 in doubt, or a brace procedure. The latter could lead to an earlier return, but it\u00a0would still be months\u00a0before even beginning to throw again.<\/p>\n

It all points to a lost season for Giolito, as ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan reported last week the newly signed pitcher has a\u00a0partial tear in his UCL\u00a0as well as a strain of the flexor tendon. None of this is a huge surprise to the Red Sox; Cora said last week that it didn\u2019t look good when the club announced Giolito was being shut down with the elbow issue.<\/p>\n

Giolito is in the first season of a two-year deal with the Red Sox. Boston signed the 29-year-old in the offseason and hoped he\u2019d be what he has been his entire career: an innings eater. Giolito logged 184 1\/3 innings last season while striking out 204 batters. His contract reportedly includes a $19 million player option for 2025 that Giolito almost certainly will exercise. If he needs Tommy John, he\u2019ll probably miss a year-plus, making the financial security of that option even more enticing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
