TORONTO – Former Oregon State pitcher Matt Boyd has been promoted to Toronto and will make his Major League Baseball debut Saturday when the Blue Jays host the Texas Rangers at Rogers Centre. First pitch is scheduled for 10 a.m. PT.
Boyd was drafted two years ago, before the Beavers advanced to the College World Series. A sixth-round selection, his last outing for the Beavers was a 1-0 victory over Indiana in Omaha in which he held the Hoosiers to just four hits. The 1-0 win was the first at the College World Series in nearly 30 years.
