TAMPA, Fla.—Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito is expected to miss this season after having his right ulnar collateral ligament repaired with an internal brace.
Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas operated Tuesday at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Giolito was able to avoid ligament-replacement surgery, which he had on Aug. 31, 2012, with Dr. Lewis Yocum, less than two months after the Washington Nationals made Giolito their top pick in the 2012 amateur draft.
