Boyd (0-1) was hammered for five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings in Thursday's 11-2 drubbing at the hands of the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rust may have played a factor in Boyd's lack of sharpness, as rain has played havoc with the Tigers' early-season schedule, but that's small consolation to fantasy GMs who took a chance on him after his impressive spring. If there was any silver lining here for the left-hander it's that Anibal Sanchez was just as bad in relief, so even if Boyd's on a short leash his rotation spot isn't in immediate jeopardy. He'll try to rebound Tuesday at home against the Twins.
