Cubs Place Matthew Boyd on IL with Knee Injury

Chicago Cubs placed starting pitcher Matthew Boyd on the 15‑day injured list after a torn meniscus during a family outing, requiring surgery and an uncertain return timeline.

The Cubs added Boyd to the IL, the second starter to miss time this season, after a right‑hander was lost for the year to UCL surgery. The injury came while Boyd was playing with his children, and no return date has been set. Potential replacements include Javier Assad and Ben Brown, while reliever Trent Thornton will fill the roster spot. hilogame.news
