Boyd allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out just a single batter over 3.2 innings during Wednesday's win over Kansas City. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has surrendered at least three runs in each of his past seven starts for a 6.63 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and an underwhelming 5.6 K/9. Boyd will need to turn things around in a hurry or his rotation spot could be in jeopardy, if it isn't already. He's certainly off the fantasy radar for the time being. A home start against the Angels is on deck, and without Mike Trout, Los Angeles doesn't project as a daunting matchup.

Boyd (2-4) allowed four runs on 12 hits with no walks across 5.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd had no trouble finding the strike zone, posting his first outing without issuing a walk this season, but he gave up a constant procession of base-hits and was removed shortly after surrendering a solo home run to Pete Kozma with one out in the sixth inning. Boyd fired the third of a trio of quality starts earlier this month, but he has since allowed 11 runs in his last 7.2 innings to grow his ERA to 5.36. His poor 33:21 K:BB has made it difficult for him to string successful outings together, and he will look to improve on this figure Friday against the White Sox.

Boyd allowed seven earned runs in eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings Tuesday. He struck out one in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough outing for the 26-year-old southpaw, who saw his ERA balloon to 5.18 on the season. Detroit's bats took him off the hook for what would have been his third consecutive loss. The lefty now owns an unimpressive 30:21 K:BB to go with a 1.61 WHIP; it's best to keep your distance from Boyd unless the right matchup presents itself.

Boyd (2-3) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has now provided quality starts in five of his last six outings, but his 3.89 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 29:19 K:BB in 39.1 innings on the season leave a lot to be desired. Boyd faces a tough challenge in his next start Tuesday at home against the Orioles.

Boyd (2-2) gave up three runs on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 7.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

He pitched well, shutting the Indians down outside of a three-run rally in the fourth inning, but Carlos Carrasco was just a bit better on the other end. Boyd has put a lot of runners on base this year, and that 23:16 K:BB is far from inspiring, yet he owns a decent 3.78 ERA. That seems destined to rise as his luck balances out, so Boyd should be started with great caution in fantasy.

Boyd (2-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings but came away with a no-decision in Friday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It was the left-hander's longest outing of the season so far. Boyd pounded the strike zone, throwing 70 of 97 pitches for strikes, but still walked multiple batters for the fifth time in five starts, and his 19:13 K:BB through 25.2 innings is far from impressive. His next start will come Wednesday at home against Cleveland.

Boyd was ejected from Saturday's game in the fifth inning after throwing behind Minnesota's Miguel Sano, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both of the benches briefly cleared Saturday following Boyd's incident with Sano, but the situation was quickly resolved. Boyd ended his outing having allowed two earned runs over 4.1 innings while notching three strikeouts and three walks. His truncated outing does not help a taxed Detroit bullpen that had to fill 3.0 innings Friday after Justin Verlander was touched up for four earned runs.

Boyd (2-1) picked up the win Sunday against the Indians by tossing six innings of one-run ball. He allowed seven hits and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd struggled in his first start of the season, but he's been great in his last two. The lefty battled veteran Anibal Sanchez for the No. 5 spot in the rotation during spring training, and he's definitely tightening his grip on the role. Boyd will look to keep rolling in his next start Saturday in Minnesota.

Boyd pitched a six-inning shutout and picked up the win Tuesday against the Twins. He allowed just one hit and struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd held the Twins hitless until a Robbie Grossman single with two outs in the fifth inning. After a rough debut in which he gave up five runs in just 2.1 innings, the young lefty turned things around in a big way in this one.

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.
