Receives Opening Day start The White Sox announced Monday that Giolito will start Friday's season opener in Detroit. Impact Giolito became the easy choice for the Opening Day nod after the White Sox announced Sunday that Lance Lynn will be sidelined for at least the first month of the season while recovering from right knee surgery. The 27-year-old righty took somewhat of a step back statistically in 2021, but his 11 wins, 3.53 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 201 strikeouts over 178.1 innings made him far from a disappointment for those that invested in him hoping for a Cy Young-caliber season. The White Sox will be counting on him to anchor the rotation while Lynn is on the mend.
