Lucas Gilbreath’s return is a long time coming
Two years is a long time.
It's enough time to make a movie or get halfway through high school. It’s as long as Gunther's reign as Intercontinental Champion. It’s no small timeframe.
It was even longer for Lucas Gilbreath.
Since suffering an elbow injury at the tail end of the 2022 season that required Tommy John surgery, “Gilly” hadn’t seen game action and was purely focused on recovery. Now, finally, he has been activated from the injured list and can take his rightful spot atop the mound that he has missed so dearly.
After throwing a scoreless inning in his return to MLB, he reflected on his experience and his mindset.
