Summary
This week marks a significant return for MLB starting pitchers Lucas Giolito and Tony Gonsolin, making their first starts since 2023. Giolito, who has battled elbow and hamstring injuries, joins a struggling Red Sox rotation, while Gonsolin returns from Tommy John surgery to bolster a Dodgers staff facing injuries. Both teams hope to benefit from their pitchers’ returns, with Giolito aiming to regain his past form and Gonsolin returning after a challenging 2023 season, where he posted a 4.98 ERA before surgery.
