The Chicago White Sox will place Lucas Giolito on the injured list with an abdominal injury.

Giolito is expected to miss his next two starts, according to Tony La Russa, after leaving his season-opening start on Friday because of tightness on his left side.

Giolito struck out six while pitching four innings of one-hit ball against the Detroit Tigers.

"Optimistically, maybe a couple of starts," La Russa said of Giolito's estimated time out. "We're going to miss him."
