Giolito (hamstring) felt good after a 50-pitch bullpen session Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito left his previous start April 17 against the Royals with left hamstring tightness, but his stay on the injured list appears unlikely to last much longer than the minimum 10 days. He's already eligible to return, though the White Sox have yet to announce when he'll be activated.

Giolito (hamstring) is expected to pitch on the White Sox's current homestand, which runs through May 5, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito threw a side session Friday and is expected to require an additional throwing session before being cleared to return. General manager Rick Hahn indicated the team may need a spot starter, making a return on the back end of the homestand seem more likely.

Giolito (hamstring) feels close to 100 percent and hopes to only miss one start, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like he could come off the injured list when first eligible, on April 28 against the Tigers. He has been throwing on the side but is waiting to be cleared to throw a full-effort bullpen session.

Giolito said Thursday that he's dealing with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain and noted that he only expects to miss one or two starts, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox placed Giolito on the 10-day injured list, but based on the right-hander's comments, he'll likely only be unavailable for the minimum amount of time or close to it. More clarity on Giolito's target date for a return probably won't come until he's cleared to face hitters in batting practice, but his move to the IL means the White Sox will have to replace him for at least one turn through the rotation. Chicago will first require a fifth starter Monday in Baltimore, with long reliever Manny Banuelos representing the top candidate on the active roster to fill the void unless the White Sox elect to promote someone from the Triple-A Charlotte rotation.

The White Sox placed Giolito on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito was enjoying a strong start Wednesday against the Royals before he experienced tightness in his hamstring in the third inning, resulting in him being pulled from the contest. After Giolito was evaluated by team trainers following his departure, it was quickly determined that he would need at least a week and a half off to heal up. The White Sox have yet to name a replacement in the rotation for Giolito, but long reliever Manny Banuelos or the recently recalled Carson Fulmer could be two of the top options to fill the void. Giolito's next turn will fall Monday in Baltimore.

Giolito was removed from Wednesday's game against the Royals due to left hamstring tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito suffered the injury during the third inning Wednesday and was ultimately removed after talking with a trainer and firing a few test pitches. The right-hander will likely be further evaluated in the coming days, but the fact that the White Sox are listing him as day-to-day suggests he may not be forced to miss his next turn through the rotation. Giolito was locked in prior to exiting, racking up five strikeouts through 2.2 hitless innings.

Giolito exited Wednesday's game against the Royals with an undisclosed injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giolito appeared to tweak his foot during the third inning of Wednesday's game, and he subsequently exited with the team's trainer after throwing a few test pitches and not feeling quite right. Specifics regarding the issue are not yet known. Prior to exiting, Giolito hadn't allowed a hit through 2.2 innings while striking out five. Ryan Burr took over for Giolito.
