"Red Sox righty Lucas Giolito is dealing with an elbow issue and won't be included on Boston's roster for their Wild Card Series showdown with the archrival Yankees, manager told reporters at today's media session ( link via Christopher Smith of MassLive.com)."
"Cora did not provide a specific diagnosis or tip his hand as to whether Giolito would be available in subsequent rounds, should the Red Sox advance. Giolito would've been Boston's starter for a potential Game 3 of the series."
"More to come."
The Red Sox will not include right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito on their Wild Card Series roster against the Yankees due to an elbow issue. No specific diagnosis has been provided, and his availability for subsequent postseason rounds remains uncertain. Giolito had been projected to start a potential Game 3 in the series. His absence removes him from the immediate postseason rotation and necessitates adjustments to Boston's pitching plans for the Wild Card matchup. Further updates on his condition and any roster decisions are expected as the team monitors his status.
