The Tigers reinstated Boyd (triceps) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Outfielder Daz Cameron was sent to Triple-A Toledo to clear a spot on the active roster for Boyd, who will be making his first start for Detroit since June 14. The southpaw ramped up to 4.1 innings (56 pitches) in his final rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, so he'll likely face some light restrictions Sunday in his return to the Detroit rotation. Before he was shut down in June with left triceps tendinitis, Boyd went 3-6 with a 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB in 70.2 innings.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that Boyd (triceps) is "penciled in" to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd made his final rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday and allowed a hit and no walks while striking out six in 4.1 innings. He tossed 56 pitches in the appearance. The southpaw may have a pitch count if he ultimately returns to the mound Sunday.

Boyd (triceps) is scheduled to make what's expected to be his third and final rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After covering three innings and 43 pitches in his most recent outing Aug. 18, Boyd is expected to push his pitch count up to the 60-to-70 range Tuesday. If Boyd experiences no setbacks with his left triceps tendon in the outing, he could slide back into the Detroit rotation as soon as Sunday's series finale with the Blue Jays. Boyd has been on the 60-day injured list since June 14.

The Tigers are targeting their Aug. 27-29 home series versus the Blue Jays for Boyd's (triceps) return from the 60-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Out since mid-June with left triceps tendinitis, Boyd reached the final phase of his recovery program when he began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Friday. He tossed two scoreless frames for the affiliate, then rejoined the Tigers later in the weekend for another bullpen session. The Tigers plan on having Boyd make two more rehab starts before bringing him back from the IL, with the southpaw's next outing with Toledo likely to come as soon as Wednesday. If Boyd is able to build up to five innings during his rehab assignment and steer clear of any setbacks, he should make about five or six more starts for Detroit before the season ends.

Boyd (triceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes on Boyd's 59th day on the injured list, so it won't have any impact on his return timeline. He'll begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, but the length of his absence means he'll likely need a handful of outings before he's ready to go.

Boyd (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has been out for nearly two months with triceps tendinitis. Given the length of his absence, he'll presumably require multiple rehab appearances before he returns from the injured list. If he makes three rehab starts, he could return sometime in late August, though the Tigers have yet to specify exactly when they expect him back.

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.

Boyd (triceps) was cleared to begin throwing off a mound last week and is expected to begin a rehab assignment in early August, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Boyd has been on the shelf since mid-June with left triceps tendinitis, he may need two rehab starts in the minors to ramp up his pitch count before Detroit activates him from the 10-day injured list. A firmer target date for the start of his rehab assignment likely won't be available until he advances to facing hitters in live batting practice.

Boyd (triceps) has been steadily increasing his throwing distance off flat ground, but he has yet to be cleared for mound work since being placed on the 10-day injured list June 15, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's a positive sign that Boyd isn't shut down, the Tigers aren't counting on him to return from the injured list before the end of July. A firmer target date for Boyd's reinstatement should come once he's sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment, but he has multiple hurdles to clear in the recovery process before he reaches that point.

Boyd (triceps) is dealing with muscular tendinitis and won't return before the All-Star break, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Although several doctors seem to have ruled out structural damage, the team will give the southpaw extended time to recover to make sure he's fully healthy when he returns. Matt Manning and Wily Peralta could remain in the rotation while Boyd and Spencer Turnbull (forearm) are sidelined.
