"Matthew Boyd is now on the 15-day IL with a left bicep strain, joining Cade Horton, who is on the IL with a forearm strain. Javier Assad will start in Boyd's place."
"A biceps strain is a less common pitcher injury, but because it connects at the elbow, you always worry about something structural. Hopefully, it's just the muscle in the end."
"Both Counsell and Boyd are confident this is minor and it will be a min stay on IL. Boyd threw a side yesterday and felt really good."
"It's still not good to lose Boyd for multiple starts, but the odds were always strong that he wouldn't throw 200 innings this year in any case."
Matthew Boyd has been placed on the 15-day Injured List due to a left bicep strain, while Cade Horton is already on the IL with a forearm strain. Javier Assad will be recalled to start in Boyd's place. Although a bicep strain is less common for pitchers, concerns about structural issues remain. Both Boyd and the coaching staff believe the injury is minor, and he is expected to return soon. The situation emphasizes the importance of depth in the pitching rotation.
