Red Sox Confirm Giolito Out for Wild Card Series vs. Yankees

BREAKING: Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has been officially ruled out for the upcoming American League Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees due to an elbow injury. Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced the news just hours before Game 1, set to begin at 6 p.m. ET on October 3, 2025.

This development comes as a significant blow to the Red Sox, who were counting on Giolito to take the mound for Game 3, should the series extend that far. Cora stated, “He’s been battling with his elbow the last few days… Hopefully it’s nothing major, but he won’t be ready for this [series].” The urgency of the situation escalates as the team prepares to face their arch-rivals in a high-stakes playoff atmosphere.

Giolito, 31, has had a strong season with a record of 10-4 and a 3.41 ERA, striking out 121 batters in 26 starts. However, concerns over his health have intensified recently, with reports indicating that his velocity has been down. He was sent to see Dr. Jeffrey Dugas, an orthopedic specialist, for further evaluation after having to cut a recent bullpen session short.

Giolito’s injury history complicates matters; he underwent internal brace surgery on his right elbow in March 2024 after previously having Tommy John surgery in 2012. With Giolito sidelined, Cora indicated that Kyle Harrison and Connelly Early could step in as potential options to pitch in a possible Game 3.

The Red Sox will now have to rely heavily on their remaining starters, especially given the intensity of the postseason. As they gear up for the first game, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on how this injury impacts the team’s performance against a formidable Yankees lineup.

With the playoffs underway, every moment counts, and the absence of Giolito adds pressure on Boston’s pitching staff. The Red Sox’s ability to adapt and perform without one of their key pitchers will be crucial as they aim for postseason success.
