The Boston Red Sox are facing a pitching crisis, having lost key players before the season started. Star pitcher Lucas Giolito’s injury during spring training led to season-ending elbow surgery, adding to the team’s woes. Giolito recently shared that he initially felt fine but started feeling sore during a game, which led to his injury. Despite the severity, he didn’t immediately think his season was over, as he had experienced a similar sensation the previous year that turned out to be nothing serious.
Giolito was expected to be a crucial part of the Red Sox’s rotation, which struggled last season. With Chris Sale leaving for the Atlanta Braves, Giolito was seen as a potential ace. However, with his absence, the team has relied on other pitchers like Tanner Houck, Brayan Brello, and Nick Pivetta, who have performed well, although Pivetta is currently injured. Despite these challenges, the Red Sox have a decent record (13-10) and are third in the AL East. However, securing a playoff spot will be tough given the strong performances of teams like the Yankees, Orioles, and Blue Jays.
