Boyd allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six batters through 4.1 innings during Thursday's win over Baltimore. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd had to wait through two rain delays before taking the mound, so it's difficult to put too much emphasis on Thursday's outing. Still, the 26-year-old southpaw has struggled to gain any fantasy traction this season with a 5.35 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 6.7 K/9, and outside of the deepest settings, he's not currently a serviceable option. Boyd projects to face the Pirates at PNC Park in his next start.

Boyd (5-5) allowed three runs on eight hits while striking out five over 7.1 innings to earn the win Saturday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd gave up a pair of runs in the first inning before settling down, and the Tigers came up with three runs in the seventh inning to help him earn his fifth victory of the year. Although he performed well against a strong Astros' offense, his 5.30 ERA and 1.62 WHIP make him a player who's difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Orioles.

Boyd (4-5) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight batters through six innings during Sunday's win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has allowed at least three runs in each of his past nine games and sports an underwhelming 5.48 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 6.4 K/9 for the campaign. Those numbers aren't moving the fantasy needle in most settings, so while it's encouraging that Boyd has won consecutive starts, expectations should remain in check. He lines up to face the Astros at Comerica Park in his next start.

Boyd (3-5) gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in Tuesday's win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

This marks his first victory since the middle of April and his ERA is still 5.58, which should give you an idea of Boyd's fantasy value at this point. His terrific minor-league track record suggests that Boyd may turn the corner one day, but there's been no sign of him carrying that success forward into the big leagues so far.

Boyd will toe the rubber against the Royals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd will make his first start at the major-league level since May 31, when he was rocked for four earned runs off seven hits during 3.2 innings of work against Kansas City. He will attempt to fare better against the division rivals this time around after spending eight starts down at the Triple-A level with Toledo. During that time, he has posted a 2.94 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP and 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings. If he can provide punch outs on a more regular basis -- which has been an area that he has regressed since last season with the Tigers -- he could get the chance to hang around the big leagues for more than a couple starts.

Boyd was optioned back to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was brought up as the 26th man to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, but will head back to Toledo following a rough afternoon. The young southpaw was gave up four runs -- all earned -- on seven hits over just 3.2 innings, raising his major league ERA to 5.69 on the season. Look for Boyd to be a top option if the Tigers need an extra arm down the road.

Boyd was called up prior to Saturday's doubleheader to serve as the team's 26th man.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was originally slated to start one of Saturday's game, but will merely serve as another arm out of the bullpen following Friday's rainout. He has struggled during his time in the big leagues this season, posting a 5.69 ERA with a 1.77 WHIP. Recording just 37 strikeouts (opposed to 24 walks) in 55.1 innings, Boyd hasn't been providing much in terms of fantasy value.

Boyd is no longer in line to start a game Saturday following Friday's postponement.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers will go with Anibal Sanchez in the matinee and Jordan Zimmermann in the nightcap against Cleveland. There's still a chance Boyd could come up, but it would merely be to provide bullpen help, likely as the 26th man for the twin bill.

Boyd will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start one game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Indians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd, who was banished to the minors on June 2, will serve as the 26th man in the doubleheader, meaning he'll likely head back to Toledo once the twin bill is completed. Jordan Zimmermann is in line to start the other half of the doubleheader. Since moving to Triple-A, Boyd has performed admirably, albeit against lower-caliber competition. In five starts, he's compiled a 3.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB over 27 innings.

Boyd is a likely option to start one of the Tigers' doubleheader games on Saturday against the Indians, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw was pulled just four innings into his Triple-A start Tuesday night, prompting speculation he was receiving a call to the majors. Boyd, who made 11 starts with the Tigers before being sent down, will get a another chance to prove his place in the big leagues after posting a 5.69 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in his earlier stint, but most likely heads back to Toledo following the outing. Jordan Zimmerman is on tap to start the other game Saturday.
