White Sox Get Terrible News With Lucas Giolito Injury Update

White Sox star pitcher Lucas Giolito had a tough start to his season. He was pulled early from his Opening Day outing after experiencing abdominal tightness. In just 4 innings of work, Giolito managed 6 strikeouts and only gave up 1 hit before being pulled.

We saw a slew of starters pulled earlier than usual given the short Spring Training this year caused by the lockout, but Giolito was pulled for an injury and one that will now land him on the Injured List.
