Cubs' Pitcher Matthew Boyd Injures His Left Knee While Sitting Down with His Kids at Home
Boyd will need surgery and miss extended time, leaving the Cubs with 10 pitchers on the injured list, team officials said.
- On Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs placed starting pitcher Matthew Boyd on the 15-day injured list after he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee requiring surgery.
- Manager Craig Counsell revealed Boyd sustained the injury while playing with his children at home, describing it as "kind of an innocent, going down to the ground and getting back up."
- This marks Boyd's second stint on the injured list this season, following an April biceps strain; he is 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA through five starts.
- To fill the roster spot, the Cubs selected the contract of right-hander Trent Thornton from Triple-A Iowa while designating left-hander Charlie Barnes for assignment.
- Despite persistent rotation injuries, Chicago entered Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds at 24-12, with Counsell indicating Javier Assad or Ben Brown may cover Boyd's rotation spot.
