PITTSBURGH — If everything went according to plan, the Giants would be getting rotation reinforcements in the form of free-agent signee Matthew Boyd right about now.
Boyd signed a free-agent contract this offseason that guaranteed him $5.2 million but came with an additional $2.3 million in incentives starting with his 12th start of the season. It’s unlikely he reaches that number now, when the earliest he will resume throwing is mid-July. It would likely take at least another month before he is major-league ready, placing his debut at mid-August in the best-case scenario.
Boyd, who underwent flexor tendon surgery last September, had begun to throw bullpens in spring training and had ramped up the intensity of those over the ensuing months, leading up to Tuesday’s live BP session. The Giants will get one member of their rotation back this weekend: Alex Cobb is scheduled to start Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates, marking his return from a two-week absence with neck/back/hamstring discomfort.
