Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (knee) exited his start on Thursday with left knee tendinitis, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Boyd had allowed a walk and a double to start the second inning, before he called for a trainer to come to the mound. He would then exit the game and be replaced by Michael Fulmer. There's no word on the severity or how long he'll be out, but it seems likely he could miss at least one start while dealing with this.

There arent many heartening metrics for Boyd owners to revel in, but his xERA of 5.54 is vastly below his actual ERA of 10.24. Boyd spoke after Wednesdays rocky...
