Lucas Giolito ready to return to Red Sox after injury setback

Lucas Giolito's first season with the Boston Red Sox was cut short due to a major elbow injury sustained in March 2024. After undergoing surgery and spending 10 months in rehabilitation, he is now ready to participate in spring training. Giolito expressed eagerness to contribute on the field and support younger players. He has already completed four bullpen sessions this winter and feels aligned with the typical progression of a healthy player. He is also excited about new pitching staff additions, including Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler. Giolito looks forward to implementing adjustments to his pitching repertoire that he was unable to work on last year.
