Boyd (triceps) threw live batting practice Sunday at the Tigers' spring training facility, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming Boyd checks out fine following the throwing session, he could be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as the upcoming weekend. Because Boyd has been on the injured list since mid-June with left triceps tendinitis, he may require a few outings in the minors before the Tigers deem him ready to rejoin the big-league rotation.
