3 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (abdomen) will go on the injured list and miss two starts at the very least, according to Vinnie Duber. The right-hander started Friday's Opening Day game against the Detroit Tigers, pitching four innings and allowing no runs before feeling pain in his abdomen. This is bad news for fantasy managers and the White Sox, who are already down starter Lance Lynn for a month of the season. With two starters on the shelf, expect Vince Velasquez and possibly Reynaldo Lopez to step into the rotation. The former has struggled mightily the past few seasons, including a 6.30 ERA in 2021, while the latter showed flashes, pitching to a 3.43 ERA over nine starts and 11 relief appearances.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
