Giolito may need surgery to repair the right-elbow damage. It would be a big loss to the starting rotation for Boston after signing him to a two-year deal this offseason.

Lucas Giolito and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $38.5 million contract.

Fantasy Impact

The deal includes an opt-out after the first season. Giolito posted a 4.88 ERA in a down year with the White Sox last season. With the opt-out after the first year, he'll have the ability to test the open market next offseason if he can rebound this year.
