Red Sox's Lucas Giolito Likely Out for Season with Elbow Injury

The injury to key pitcher Lucas Giolito exacerbates existing concerns about the team's pitching depth and puts additional pressure on the front office.

Lucas Giolito, a key pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, might miss the entire season due to a partially torn UCL and flexor strain.
The injury has intensified concerns about the Red Sox's pitching depth, as they were already in need of additional starting pitchers.
The Red Sox's front office, particularly incoming chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, faces criticism for not adequately preparing for such setbacks.
Options to replace Giolito are limited, with the team considering both internal and external candidates.
The situation underscores broader issues within the Red Sox organization, including budget constraints and a lack of depth.
