Boyd (5-2) gave up three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings Wednesday, striking out seven Twins in a 9-4 win.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up a couple more homers, continuing what's been a perpetual issue on that front -- Boyd now owns an awful 1.57 HR/9. That's far better than last year's nightmarish 2.67 mark, but it leaves Boyd on the low end for fantasy purposes. His moderate strikeout rate and long-ball-friendly tendencies make him a dicey play on a start-to-start basis, but it's worth noting that Boyd has delivered three consecutive quality outings, giving up just four runs on 12 hits in 19 innings over that span (which notably includes starts against the Red Sox and Rangers, two strong offenses).

Boyd (4-2) pitched six innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four in a no-decision Thursday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The young left-hander tied his career high of 106 pitches while navigating his way through the dangerous Red Sox lineup like a veteran Thursday. That makes two straight impressive starts for Boyd, who allowed just two hits while tossing seven scoreless innings last time out against the Rangers. Boyd's efforts lowered his ERA to 3.93, its best mark in more than two months. His next scheduled start is set for Wednesday in Minnesota against a Twins team he limited to just three hits over six scoreless innings back on July 18.

Boyd will start against the Rangers on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd will have a week between starts when he takes the mound Saturday, after pitching against the Mets this past Saturday. He got the win, only allowing three earned runs off six hits and three walks while striking out five. Boyd also made a relief appearance Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning against the Mariners.

Boyd (3-2) allowed three runs on six hits, struck out five and walked three over five innings in a victory over the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty tossed up two bombs for the second straight outing, but they were of the solo variety, and the Tigers offense spotted Boyd six runs. The 25-year-old was also uncharacteristically wild, walking three batters for the first time in nearly two months, but none of them came around to score. Boyd is now 3-2 with a 4.77 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 54.2 innings.

Boyd will remain in the Tigers' rotation for now, ESPN's Katie Strang reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Mike Pelfrey (back) landing on the 15-day DL on Tuesday, Boyd will take the ball on Saturday against the Mets after beating out Daniel Norris for the last spot in the rotation with some solid recent starts. Boyd's 4.71 ERA doesn't tell the whole story, as he has a 2.35 ERA in the second half and a 1.27 WHIP on the season, so he is worth a look in deeper leagues.

Boyd is 2-0 with a 2.21 ERA, 23 strikeouts and just four walks in 20.1 innings of work in July.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has been a much better pitcher since his early July return from Triple-A. His control is sharp and he's commanding his fastball well. His overall ERA remains high at 4.71, but baseball is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league. Boyd could be a sneaky fantasy play going forward based on his most recent work.

Boyd (2-2) pitched five innings, allowing three runs, four hits and a walk while striking out six Astros in Friday's win.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was able to cruise to his second victory of the season thanks to a nine run explosion by the Tigers offense in the first two innings Friday. He threw 100 pitches for just the third time this year while allowing multiple home runs for the third time, too. The southpaw has won two straight decisions and will go for number three Thursday at home against the White Sox.

Boyd (1-2) had easily his best start of the season on Monday, shutting out the Twins over six innings. He allowed three hits, walked one, and struck out seven in the win.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd's seven strikeouts matched a season high. The 25-year-old has allowed just one run in 11 innings of work this month, striking out 13 compared to three walks. Boyd will try to keep the strong play going when he takes the mound against the White Sox this Saturday.

Boyd allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, but received no decision Saturday at the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd gave up his only run in the fifth inning, and left the contest with a 2-1 lead, but the bullpen was unable to protect it for him. After getting hammered for 13 runs over his last eight innings of work before being demoted after his June 18 performance, he bounced back nicely in this start, and lowered his ERA from 6.44 to 5.77 on the season. He'll make his next start after the All-Star break.

Boyd will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Saturday's game at Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd will get to face his former team Saturday after posting a 2.25 ERA in 11 starts this season with Toledo. However, he has a 6.44 ERA and 4.99 xFIP in 29.1 innings in the big leagues this year, and Saturday's matchup is not ideal, so it would be best to stay away for now in most formats.
