 Lucas Giolito is gearing up for what he hopes will be a bounce-back year with the Boston Red Sox. After his first season with the team was derailed by a Spring Training elbow injury that required an internal brace procedure to repair his UCL, Giolito is ready to put the past behind him and return to the mound stronger than ever.
The internal brace procedure is generally less invasive than a full Tommy John surgery, allowing for a shorter recovery time. Giolito underwent his surgery in mid-March, and with Spring Training set to open one year later, he expects to participate fully in exhibition play. "I’m going to be ready for a full Spring Training and a full season," Giolito told WEEI's Rob Bradford on the Baseball Isn’t Boring podcast. "I find it funny when I see stuff online saying that I’ll be coming back in June. I don’t know where that came from. I have no idea. … Everything’s going great. I look forward to a full year." Giolito's optimism and determination to return to form is palpable. Despite the setback, he remains focused on contributing to the Red Sox's success in the upcoming season. His recovery has been progressing smoothly, and he is eager to showcase his skills on the mound once again.
