Matthew Boyd

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Matthew Boyd will undergo surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his left knee.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd will be out indefinitely without a clear timetable to return. He becomes the latest Cubs starting pitcher to go down with an injury.

Matthew Boyd went a season-long six innings on Sunday and allowed two runs on four hits, walked one, and struck out five as the Cubs defeated the Diamondbacks, 8-4.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd's only blemish of the day came off the bat of Gabriel Moreno, when he hit a two-run homer off of Boyd in the second. Otherwise, the Cubs' lefthander kept the Arizona offense at bay all afternoon in what was his best start since coming off the injured list on April 22. Through five starts this season, Boyd is 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA and a 31:6 K:BB ratio and will take those numbers into his next start against the Rangers on Friday.

Matthew Boyd pitched four-plus innings on Monday and allowed five runs on eight hits, walked two, and struck out four as the Cubs dropped a 9-7 decision to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd struggled to get out of the first inning on Monday as the Padres jumped on the lefthander for three runs on three hits and two walks. He allowed another run in the third and then allowed a leadoff double to Manny Machado in the fifth before exiting. Machado later came in to score. Boyd has a solid 26:5 K:BB ratio and has allowed just one home run in 18 innings. However, the lefthander has an ERA of 7.00 and a WHIP of 1.44 that he will take into his next start against Arizona on Sunday.

Matthew Boyd is expected to be on a pitch count in his return on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd is making his return from a multi-week absence. Ben Brown is expected to pitch behind him.

The Cubs activated Matthew Boyd from the 15-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Boyd will return after missing just over two weeks with a left biceps strain. He'll be back on the mound on Wednesday against the Phillies.
