Matthew Boyd

Matthew Boyd is expected to return to the majors as a multi-inning reliever after a rehab assignment in the minors. GM Henry Dipoto is looking for Boyd to get built-up to 60-70 pitches before returning.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd was traded to the Mariners from the Giants Tuesday. Boyd has spent the entire 2022 season on the IL with a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow. The 31-year-old pitched in 15 games, with a 3.89 ERA across 78 2/3 innings in 2021.

Lefthander Matthew Boyd has been traded to the Seattle Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd is coming off of elbow surgery and is expected to be back on the mound soon to give Seattle a boost in their postseason run. In 2021, the lefthander held a 3.89 ERA and a WHIP of 1.27 in 15 games. It has been a while since he played in big league action, so it is tough to project how he will perform in Seattle, but he should be a regular rotation piece.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd had a setback in mid-June after feeling discomfort in his elbow, so it's good to see him making progress again. He is still a ways away from taking a major league mound considering he has been out since late March, but a return before the end of the season is still certainly possible.

Matthew Boyd had a setback, cutting his rehab throwing program short on Monday. He has been on the 60-day injured list since March 27 with a left elbow strain.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd felt some discomfort in his elbow as he was facing live batters and ended his day early as a precaution. He's been working his way back from a left flexor tendon surgery that has sidelined him for the season so far. Any setback is obviously disconcerting and of concern, and the team may need to shut him down for the time being to give the arm additional rest.

Matthew Boyd continues to recover from elbow surgery but is progressing in his rehab program. He will soon begin to face hitters and would then go out on a rehab assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd was placed on the 60-day IL with a left elbow strain in late March. The 31-year-old returning would provide the Giants with another option in their rotation. Boyd pitched in 15 games in 2021 (3-8) with a 3.89 ERA over 78 2/3 innings.
