Detroit — The Tigers aren’t completely closing the door on Matthew Boyd pitching again this season, but the odds are stacked hard against that happening.
“He’s going to see doctors next week,” manager AJ Hinch said Saturday. “He is scheduled to see Dr. (Keith) Meister in Dallas and then we’ll get further evaluations and opinions and see what’s next for him.”
Boyd, scratched from his start Friday night, was placed on the injured list for the second time this season with a left elbow strain. He had just returned from a 10-week stint on the IL and after three rehab starts and two more after he was activated, the soreness in his elbow returned while he was throwing a side session Thursday.
