It didn’t end up being the worst-case scenario, but Lucas Giolito’s spring training elbow injury was quite a morale hit for the Red Sox.
Boston expected their newest signing to be an innings eater, but will instead wait a calendar year before seeing Giolito take the mound in a Red Sox uniform. That’s a bummer, not only for the team, but the player.
Giolito was looking forward to being counted on.
