"Giolito, 31, went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA and 121 strikeouts in 26 starts for the Red Sox last season."
"The Padres were looking for help for their starting rotation with Nick Pivetta, who is on the IL with a right flexor strain."
"Giolito missed the entire 2024 season because of elbow surgery. The 2019 All-Star also pitched for the Nationals, White Sox, Angels and Guardians."
"San Diego is off to a hot start, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the National League West with a 16-7 record."
Lucas Giolito has signed a one-year contract with the San Diego Padres, which includes a mutual option for 2027. Last season, he recorded a 10-4 record with a 3.41 ERA and 121 strikeouts in 26 starts for the Boston Red Sox. He will initially report to Class A Lake Elsinore to build endurance before joining the Padres in mid-May. The Padres seek to strengthen their rotation due to injuries to key pitchers, while Giolito aims to return after missing the entire 2024 season due to elbow surgery.
