Matthew Boyd Stats

San Francisco Giants left-hander Matthew Boyd (elbow) continues to throw off a mound twice a week and is making good progress. Boyd had elbow surgery last September, and the Giants knew when they signed him to a one-year deal that he wouldn't be ready this year until sometime in June. The 31-year-old southpaw looks to be doing well in his rehab, though, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues can continue to ignore him for now. In 15 starts for the Detroit Tigers in 2021, Boyd had a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 67 strikeouts and 23 walks in 78 2/3 innings.

The San Francisco Giants signed free-agent left-hander Matthew Boyd to a one-year, $5.2 million deal on Wednesday evening. The deal includes $2.3 million in incentives. Boyd becomes the fifth starting pitcher signed or re-signed by the Giants this offseason following Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Alex Cobb and Carlos Rodon. The 31-year-old southpaw had surgery to fix a flexor tendon in his left arm in September and isn't expected to be ready for game action until sometime this summer. In 15 starts for the Detroit Tigers before his injury in 2021, he had a 3.89 ERA and 1.27 WHIP while striking out 67 and walking 23 in 78 2/3 innings. Boyd will give San Fran some more rotation depth in the second half if he's healthy.

Left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow), who was designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers just before the lockout began in early December, said he expects to be ready for game action in early June after having surgery last September to fix the flexor tendon in his left arm. The 31-year-old southpaw said his "elbow feels better than it ever has," and he's been throwing from up to 75 feet. Boyd expects to begin throwing bullpen sessions in the last two weeks of March. Interested teams may want to wait to make sure that his recovery is going smoothly before adding him to their roster when/if the lockout ends. Boyd obviously won't be a fantasy asset in single-year leagues to begin the 2022 season, but he could become worth a waiver-wire pickup, depending on his health and where he lands.
