"Red Sox Pitcher Lucas Giolito Undergoes Successful Elbow Surgery with Internal Brace"
Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito underwent a less severe internal brace procedure on his partially torn pitching elbow, avoiding Tommy John surgery. There is no immediate timetable for his return, but it is unlikely that he will pitch in 2024. The successful procedure leaves open the possibility of a normal offseason and potential readiness for the 2025 season. With Giolito out for the year, the Red Sox will rely on younger options in their starting rotation.
