Detroit — The last time former Detroit Tiger Matthew Boyd sat in a dugout at Comerica Park, talking to reporters, was about 11 months ago.
It was his last day physically with the Tigers. He was leaving that night, flying to Dallas to have his flexor tendon surgically repaired by Dr. Keith Meister.
“I kind of look at this like the intermission for Act Two of my career,” he said.
Guess where the curtain officially opens for Act Two?
Boyd sat in the visitors' dugout on Tuesday, wearing a green Seattle Mariners practice jersey, brimming with enthusiasm and optimism in anticipation of being activated off the injured list Thursday.
