Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito had an outing to forget Saturday versus the Houston Astros. Giolito couldn't record an out in the third inning and finished going two-plus innings while allowing nine runs on five hits and seven walks. Giolito now has a 9.00 ERA on the year in his first four starts. Giolito showed some promise as he pitched well to end 2017, but until he can improve his control, owners can consider swapping him out for a pitcher performing better.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito tossed a quality start in his first game of the season on Wednesday in a 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out seven while allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He didn't break a sweat through the first five innings, holding Toronto scoreless with just three hits and a walk. He began to unravel a bit in the sixth, allowing all three of his earned runs on a walk and two home runs. Overall, it was a very promising start for someone who hasn't pitched in a major league game since 2023. The former ace is finally healthy again and is worth an add in fantasy in case he starts to look like his old self again.--Jeremy Heist - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) will line up for his first scheduled start of the season this coming Wednesday when his team squares off against the Toronto Blue Jays for their second game of the series. The veteran hurler has been shelved since Spring Training after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain. Giolito had a rough go over his five rehab starts, compiling a 5.19 ERA in 17.1 innings with a 17:13 K:BB ratio across two levels. He was better for Triple-A Worcester, but walked ten batters in 10.1 innings there. The former first-round pick hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2023 after missing all of last season due to an internal brace procedure on his elbow. He has the tools to boost Boston's rotation, but fantasy managers may want to exhibit caution before immediately slotting him into their lineups.--Alex Ciulla

Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito (hamstring) is scheduled to make what will be his final minor-league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Worcester. If everything goes well there, manager Alex Cora said Giolito will come off the injured list to make his 2025 debut next Thursday, May 1, on the road against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old veteran has posted a 4.97 ERA and 1.74 WHIP with 13 strikeouts and seven walks in 12 2/3 innings over his four rehab starts with Worcester and Double-A Portland to this point after suffering a left-hamstring strain in spring training. He also missed the entire 2024 campaign after having an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow, so fantasy managers will want to temper expectations for Giolito in his first season with Boston. Giolito was one of the better pitchers in the league with the White Sox, but that was back in 2019-21.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito (hamstring) made his fourth minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Double-A Portland and allowed three earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking none and fanning four in five innings of work. Over his four rehab starts with Portland and Triple-A Worcester, the 30-year-old veteran has allowed seven earned runs on 15 hits (one homer allowed) while walking seven and striking out 13 in 12 2/3 innings pitched. He got up to 65 pitches in his outing on Easter Sunday and is expected to need at least one more rehab outing on the farm before the Red Sox consider activating him from the 15-day injured list to make his debut with Boston. Fantasy managers need to remember that Giolito didn't pitch at all in 2024 after having an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow, so he's certainly going to be eased back in.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
