Avast ye mates! The scurvy Boston Red Sox be cursed with ill tidings! Lucas Giolito, the swashbuckling lad set to lead us into battle on Opening Day, may be out for the entire 2024 campaign with a torn UCL. Arrr, it be a blow to our playoff hopes!
In a devastating blow to the Boston Red Sox, it was revealed that their veteran starter, Lucas Giolito, may require surgery for a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament and flexor strain in his elbow. If he undergoes surgery, he could miss the entire 2024 season, putting a damper on the team's hopes for the upcoming year.Giolito, who signed a lucrative two-year deal with the Red Sox, was expected to be a key player in their rotation. However, with the news of his injury, the team's pitching depth has taken a hit, especially after reliever Liam Hendriks also underwent Tommy John surgery.Despite trading away Chris Sale, the Red Sox failed to make significant moves in the free-agent market for additional pitching help. With Giolito now sidelined, fans are left wondering if the team will be more aggressive in pursuing other available starters.As of now, the extent of Giolito's injury and the necessary course of action remain uncertain. With a history of Tommy John surgery and a grim outlook for the upcoming season, the Red Sox will have to rely on their remaining rotation to step up in Giolito's absence.While Giolito's performance last season was inconsistent, his absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Red Sox as they navigate the challenges of the 2024 season.
