The Guardians make a flurry of moves Saturday morning, including confirming the signing of Matthew Boyd.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Guardians have confirmed the signing of left-hander Matthew Boyd to a one-year big-league contract. Boyd was placed on the 15-day injured list as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery.
They also activated right-hander Eli Morgan from the IL and optioned Darren McGaughan to Class AAA Columbus. McCaughan pitched four innings in Friday’s 10-3 loss to the Royals.Boyd, who underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow last June, will provide depth for Cleveland’s inconsistent starting rotation.
The Guardians are familiar with Boyd, 32, because he’s spent eight of his nine years in the big leagues with AL Central rival Detroit. Boyd has not pitched in the big leagues since last year when he made 15 starts with the Tigers bedore going on the IL and undergoing ligament transplant surgery on his elbow.Boyd’s best season was in 2019 when he struck out 238 batters in 185 1/3 innings. He was 9-12 with a 4.56 ERA in 32 starts that year. The Tigers lost 114 games that year.
