Lucas Giolito made his first appearance in the big leagues after a year-plus layoff.

The Red Sox right-hander underwent internal brace surgery on March 13 and was ruled out for the 2024 season .

He'd undergone Tommy John surgery just months after being drafted by the Washington Nationals in 2012 .

Giolito returned from injury to pitch five scoreless innings in his return to the Red Sox .

The rookie caught Carlos Narváez's 25th big-league start and 179th on the mound.

The Red Sox lost 7-6 to the Blue Jays in the 10th inning.

Giolito ’s next scheduled start is Tuesday against the Rangers , marking a home debut in front of the Fenway Park faithful.

“I think the Red Sox debut, coming back from surgery, not pitching for 18 months , that was a bit more of a thing,” he said. “Now, it's like, OK, cool. I'm just in my groove.”.
