He's now at a 2.20 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB over 28.2 innings, and he's arguably been the Guardians' best pitcher since he debuted Aug. 13 after finishing his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he now appears to be set to make his season debut Tuesday. The left-hander made five rehab starts with multiple minor-league affiliates, including Triple-A Columbus, producing an impressive 0.83 ERA with 27 punchouts over 21.2 innings. Boyd reached only 63 pitches in his most recent start Wednesday with Columbus, so he'll likely still be on some sort of pitch limit against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was locked in from the first pitch of his fifth rehab start and his second in a row with Columbus. He retired the first 17 hitters he faced and built up to 63 pitches before he exited the contest. The southpaw has looked dominant in all five of his rehab outings across stops with Columbus, Double-A Akron and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, posting an 0.83 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 27:2 K:BB in 21.2 innings. The Guardians have yet to announce their immediate plans for Boyd, but it seems likely he'll be activated from the 15-day injured list and enter the big-league rotation during next week's home series versus the Cubs after Carlos Carrasco (hip) was placed on the 15-day IL on Friday.

Boyd (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

The upcoming start will be the fifth and possibly final outing of Boyd's rehab assignment before he's activated from the 15-day injured list. The left-hander has been recovering from Tommy John surgery but has flashed increased velocity to go along with strong results during his rehab stint. With Alex Cobb (hip/shoulder) slated to return from the 60-day injured list this weekend and Carlos Carrasco struggling, it's unclear how the Guardians will fill out the tail end of their rotation once Boyd is activated.
