Detroit — Thursday was a well-earned off day for the Tigers, but lefty Matthew Boyd likes to throw the day before he starts. So, he dragged catcher Dustin Garneau to Comerica Park so he could stay on his routine.
It ended up being anything but routine. Boyd was scratched from his start on Friday after feeling soreness and discomfort in his left elbow. Manager AJ Hinch said Boyd would be going back on the injured list and pending further medical tests, the remainder of his season is in jeopardy.
“It’s a recurring soreness, similar to what he had before,” Hinch said.
