Matthew Boyd Stats

The Detroit Tigers and left-hander Matthew Boyd agreed to a deal on Thursday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the deal. MLB Network's Jon Heyman is reporting that the deal is for $10 million-plus. The 31-year-old southpaw spent seven seasons with the Tigers from 2015 to 2021 and returns to a team looking to overhaul its pitching staff under new president Scott Harris. Boyd signed with the San Francisco Giants in 2022 and was traded to the Seattle Mariners in early August. He made just 10 relief appearances (13 1/3 innings) but was great with a 1.35 ERA, 13 strikeouts and eight walks for the M's. Boyd didn't make his season debut until September due to injury, but when healthy, he could be an effective swing man for Detroit's pitching staff.

The Seattle Mariners reinstated relief pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Thursday and recalled outfielder Taylor Trammell from Triple-A Tacoma with rosters expanding. Boyd will work exclusively in relief for the Mariners as he makes his 2022 debut in the big leagues. The 31-year-old left-hander had flexor tendon surgery last September and has been working his way back to the majors ever since. The good news is he fanned 14 in eight innings on his minor league rehab assignment, so he appears to be fully healthy and ready to go. Boyd will be a nice real-life piece of the bullpen with plenty of experience, but he's not really on the fantasy radar to close out the season.

Seattle Mariners left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) will reportedly be activated at some point for the team's upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers, according to The Detroit News' Chris McCosky. McCosky notes in his tweet that the left-hander will pitch out of the bullpen for the Mariners. A starter for most of his career in the Majors, the left-hander previously made 15 starts for Detroit last season. In those 15 starts, he turned in a 3.89 ERA, a 4.10 FIP, 67 strikeouts, and 23 walks in 78.2 innings for the Tigers.
