Giolito won't pitch Friday, as the second game of Boston's doubleheader against the Orioles has been postponed due to rain.

EDGE Analysis

Originally scheduled to pitch Thursday, Giolito will now presumably look to take the mound during Saturday's doubleheader after having his start rained out on back-to-back days. The 30-year-old righty will be looking to get back on track after posting a 7.08 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 20.1 innings across his first four starts.

Giolito will not pitch Thursday after Boston's game against Baltimore was postponed due to inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Friday. Giolito will start the second of those games, while Brayan Bello will take the ball in the afternoon contest.

Giolito tossed four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito gave up a trio of homers in the outing, including two in the first inning. The right-hander needed 87 pitches to get through four frames and yielded six runs for the second time in four starts since returning from the injured list to make his season debut April 30. Giolito looked like he had shaken off the rust in his previous start, when he allowed just one run over 6.2 frames in a victory over the Royals, but Saturday's poor performance was a step backward. He now holds a poor 7.08 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 20.1 innings on the campaign.

Giolito (1-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito threw 59 of 88 pitches for strikes and yielded just one unearned run, which came on his own throwing error in the third inning. The 30-year-old has now delivered two quality starts in three outings and rebounded nicely from Tuesday's six-run loss. He'll carry a 4.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 16.1 innings into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Giolito (0-1) yielded six runs on 10 hits and a walk over 3.2 innings Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito gave up just one run through three innings before the Rangers piled on five runs in the fourth. It was a big step back after producing a quality start with seven strikeouts in his season debut. Giolito threw 49 of 74 pitches for strikes and forced only six whiffs. He'll carry an 8.38 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be in Kansas City this weekend.

Giolito didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

After missing all of last season due to elbow surgery, Giolito registered a quality start in his Red Sox debut Wednesday. The right-hander's fastball touched 96 mph, which is an especially encouraging sign coming off a significant injury. It was equally as promising to see Giolito throw 90 pitches, which also suggests he's mostly stretched out following a five-start rehab assignment due to a hamstring strain to open the campaign. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, currently projected for next week versus a Rangers team that ranked 25th in runs scored (102) ahead of Wednesday's action.

The Red Sox activated Giolito (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Giolito is set to make his Red Sox debut Wednesday in Toronto after missing last season following an internal brace procedure on his right elbow and getting a late start to the 2025 campaign because of a left hamstring strain. The right-hander held a 5.19 ERA and 17:13 K:BB over 17.1 innings across five rehab starts. Giolito threw 85 pitches during his final rehab outing, so he should be able to handle a relatively normal workload versus the Blue Jays.

Giolito (hamstring) will start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday will mark Giolito's Red Sox debut and his first start since 2023. A hamstring injury suffered during spring training has kept the 30-year-old sidelined for the first month of the season, but he's made five rehab appearances in the minors, turning in a 5.19 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 17.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He reached 85 pitches during his final outing, so he may not be under any restrictions during his first start back in the majors.

Giolito (hamstring) allowed three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The six walks may jump out, but manager Alex Cora confirmed prior to the start that this would end the right-hander's time in the minors, per Henry Palattella and Brian Murphy of MLB.com. The more important number is Giolito's pitch count, which reached 85 in his fifth and final rehab outing. "He's pitching [Friday], and he should be with us in Toronto [next week]," Cora said Friday. Giolito is expected to make his season and Boston debuts Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Giolito (hamstring) is tentatively scheduled to make his season debut May 1 in Toronto, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It would be his Red Sox debut, as well, after he missed the entire 2024 season following internal brace surgery on his right elbow. A left hamstring strain is what currently has Giolito on the 15-day injured list, and he will have to come out of his fifth rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Friday with no issues before officially being cleared to join Boston's rotation next week.
