Boyd (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was shut down in mid-June after feeling discomfort in his elbow while rehabbing from left flexor tendon surgery, but he's finally received clearance to throw off a mound. The team figures to watch the southpaw closely over the next few days to determine whether he can progress in his rehab.

Boyd has a flexor tendon strain and won't throw for four weeks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will be shut down and then evaluated in four weeks. Boyd had surgery on his flexor tendon in September 2021, so this is a concerning diagnosis. He hasn't pitched at all this season and should be considered out indefinitely.

Boyd felt some discomfort in his left elbow during Monday's live batting practice session, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants have yet to reveal next steps for Boyd, but the team will likely see how he feels over the course of the next few days before re-evaluating the southpaw. If he's unable to begin a rehab assignment soon, his return date could creep into late July and possibly into August.

Boyd (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Monday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has been throwing 40-pitch bullpen sessions since April and has been able to mix in all of his pitches. The southpaw has spent the start of the season recovering from left flexor tendon surgery that he underwent last September, but he'll likely be able to begin a rehab assignment soon before rejoining the Giants in late June or early July.

Boyd (elbow) is almost ready for live batting practice, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd continues to recover from his left flexor tendon surgery from last September. He's been throwing 40-pitch bullpen sessions since April. Webeck adds that Boyd is unlikely to be ready to return when first eligible June 6 -- it's more likely the southpaw returns in late June or early July, depending on if the Giants need him to function as a starter or a reliever.

Boyd (elbow) played catch Thursday and threw a side session Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He continues to make small progress in his throwing program, but we won't see him until June at the earliest, given that he is on the 60-day injured list.

Boyd (elbow) has been throwing off a mound twice a week and is making good progress, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants signed Boyd to a one-year, $5.2 million deal in mid-March knowing full well that he wouldn't be recovered from September elbow surgery until June. It looks as though he's still on that pace.

Boyd (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd underwent flexor tendon surgery on his left elbow in September and isn't expected to be ready for game action until June, so it's not much of a surprise he'll open the season on the 60-day IL. The 31-year-old had a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB over 78.2 innings for Detroit last season, and he'll be in the mix for a rotation spot with San Francisco after inking a one-year, $5.2 million deal in mid-March.

Boyd (elbow) signed a one-year, $5.2 million deal with the Giants on Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd underwent flexor tendon surgery in his left elbow in September and isn't expected to return until June. Once healthy, he'll compete for a spot in the Giants' increasingly crowded rotation. The lefty had what looked like a breakout season in 2019, as his typically sub-par strikeout rate spiked to 30.2 percent, though that came with a 4.56 ERA. He lost all his strikeout gains in 2020 as his ERA soared to 6.71 and then saw his strikeout rate slip still further to 19.9 percent in 2021, though that came with a career-best 3.89 ERA. What version of Boyd takes the mound in 2022 once he's healthy remains to be seen.

Boyd (elbow) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd underwent flexor tendon surgery in late September and was likely to be unavailable for the start of the 2022 campaign, and Detroit opted not to tender him a contract. The 30-year-old lefty pitched well when healthy last season with a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB over 78.2 innings (15 starts). He'll now need to contend with free agency in addition to his rehab program.
