Chris Welsh expressed skepticism over Lucas Giolito's immediate fantasy appeal despite his brief, scoreless performance returning from a hamstring injury. Welsh mentioned the crowded rotation situation in Boston, listing several other pitchers ahead or competing with him. As a result, Welsh advised managers to avoid aggressively targeting Giolito in the short term, as he is likely to be handled cautiously, lowering immediate fantasy returns. Giolito could be worth consideration in very deep leagues later in the season, but current rotation uncertainty and likely early workload limitations hamper his immediate value.
