Red Sox Pitcher Lucas Giolito Exits Spring Debut With Hamstring Tightness

The veteran right-hander, returning from elbow surgery, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

Lucas Giolito left his first Grapefruit League outing after one inning due to left hamstring tightness.
The 30-year-old pitcher threw 24 pitches, allowing one hit, two walks, and two runs while striking out two batters.
Giolito reported feeling the tightness on his first pitch but adjusted his mechanics to complete the inning.
He missed the 2024 season following elbow surgery and was expected to play a key role in Boston's rotation this year.
An MRI is scheduled for Wednesday to assess the injury, which Giolito believes to be minor based on initial strength tests.
