Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is set to undergo right elbow surgery on Tuesday, potentially sidelining him for the upcoming season. The decision was confirmed by Red Sox manager Alex Cora following Giolito's visit to Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas in Alabama for a second opinion.
Manager Alex Cora stated that the surgery will address issues with the ligament in Giolito's elbow, with the full extent of the procedure to be determined during the operation. Giolito, who recently signed a lucrative two-year deal with the Red Sox, experienced discomfort after his second spring training start, prompting further evaluation.
