Matthew Boyd News
Starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is set for free agency, as the Detroit Tigers have opted not to tender him a contract for the 2022 season. The left-handed Boyd was estimated by Matt Swartz of MLB Trade Rumors to earn $7.3 million dollars through arbitration in the 2022 season. There's enough upside that he should have little trouble catching on with a new team, but he's coming off two forearm injuries that put an end to his 2021 season with only 78 2/3 innings pitched. For his career, Boyd has a 4.96 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 759 strikeouts in 784 1/3 innings pitched. Other remaining left-handed starters on the open market include Clayton Kershaw, Carlos Rodon, and Yusei Kikuchi.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) will undergo surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his left arm, Jason Beck of MLB.com reported. The 30-year-old southpaw was sidelined for more than two months this season due to discomfort in his left arm and has struggled since returning, going 1-4 in his last starts with a 6.10 ERA and surrendered 21 earned runs in the process. There is no timetable yet for Boyd to return to the mound, although the Tigers are optimistic he will be able to pitch next season.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (left elbow strain) will see Dallas orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister. "He'll get further evaluations and opinions and see what's next," said manager A.J. Hinch. Boyd missed more than two months this summer due to left arm discomfort before returning in late August. He made two outings before landing on the injured list again. Through 15 starts, the southpaw is 3-8 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and .255 OBA. This latest injury could bring an end to Boyd's season. You can safely drop him from your fantasy roster.
