Matthew Boyd - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates (2024)

Shines in latest rehab start Boyd (elbow) struck out five over four innings while giving up one earned run on four hits and no walks in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Akron.Impact After covering three innings in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in his first rehab start during the All-Star break, Boyd bypassed a couple of levels to make his second start in the Eastern League. The veteran southpaw once again impressed Sunday, needing 52 pitches (41 strikes) to get through four frames while inducing eight swinging strikes. Boyd will likely need at least two or three more rehab outings to get fully stretched out for starting duty, but he thus far seems to have had a smooth recovery from his June 2023 Tommy John surgery. Once he completes his rehab assignment and gets activated from the 15-day injured list, Boyd could fill the No. 5 spot in the Cleveland rotation, which has been a bit of a revolving door of late. 2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE Ready for rehab assignment The Guardians sent Boyd (elbow) to their Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.Impact Boyd was signed to a one-year contract by the Guardians last month and immediately placed on the 15-day injured list as he continues to work his way back from June 2023 Tommy John surgery. The veteran southpaw will probably need most, if not all, of his allotted 30-day rehab window to ramp things back up, putting him on track for activation around mid-August if all goes well.

He struck out seven.Impact Boyd turned in his second quality start of the season Wednesday, tossing six innings of two-run ball against Kansas City. After tallying more than six strikeouts once in his first 10 appearances, Boyd has crossed that threshold in three of his last four. Over that stretch, he sports a 4.92 ERA with a blistering 27:3 K:BB across 22 innings. However, he's lined up to make his next start against the Rangers, who have averaged 6.1 runs per game in 2023, the most in MLB. JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE Looks sharp in win Wednesday Boyd (5-5) allowed two runs on six hits across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Royals. He had no walks and struck out seven.Impact Boyd had one of his better starts of the season to earn his second consecutive win. In the two wins, the lefty has gone six innings both times, allowing six earned runs and striking out 15. Boyd still has a mediocre 5.37 ERA overall and is a bit too inconsistent to trust in fantasy leagues, at least for the moment. He'll look for his third straight win in his next outing, which is tentatively set for Monday against the Rangers on the road. JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

However, the lefty settled in from there and managed to earn his first win since May 19. Boyd will still take a middling 5.60 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively set for Wednesday against the Royals, giving him a good chance to earn a win in consecutive appearances for the first time this season.
