Lucas Giolito of the Red Sox will start the 2025 MLB season on the 15-day injured list due to a low-grade hamstring strain sustained during his Grapefruit League debut. Although he is still able to throw, Opening Day seems unlikely for the 30-year-old right-hander who missed all of the 2024 season recovering from an elbow injury. His absence contributes to the Red Sox's current rotation challenges as he joins fellow injured pitchers Brayan Bello and Kutter Crawford, forcing the team to rely on other starters.
Red Sox righty Lucas Giolito will begin the 2025 season on the 15-day injured list due to a low-grade hamstring strain, hindering his Opening Day chances.
Giolito signed a two-year contract with the Sox but hasn't pitched for them yet, having missed all of 2024 due to an elbow injury.
The Red Sox now will start the season with three pitchers on the injured list, forcing them to adjust their rotation with other starting options.
Despite the setback, the prognosis is somewhat positive as Giolito's strain is classified as 'low-grade,' allowing for continued throwing.
