Ex-Tiger Matthew Boyd's career could continue after surgery in Detroit, 'my second home'

Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Matthew Boyd sat in the visitor's dugout before Tuesday's game. He reflected on his last appearance at Comerica Park, a late September drop-by before traveling to Dallas for flexor tendon surgery.

Boyd, who pitched seven seasons for the Tigers, looked forward to his post-surgery career, which begins this week as a member of the Seattle Mariners. The 31-year-old, whose hometown team is the Mariners, will be active on the roster for Thursday's series finale and could make his season debut against the Tigers.

"The last time I was here, I was leaving to go get surgery," Boyd said.
