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.
