Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito will undergo surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday, Alex Cora confirmed to reporters following Monday’s game.

The right-hander, Boston’s lone starting pitching spend this offseason, visited Dr. Jeffrey Dugas at Andrews Medical in Birmingham, AL on Monday after being diagnosed with a partial tear of his UCL and flexor strain.

Dugas and his team won’t determine a specific course of action until they open up the arm and evaluate the extent of the ligament damage. However, the various surgical options – internal brace, Tommy John – all guarantee that Giolito will miss several months, if not the entire upcoming season.
