Key Points:

- Boyd had been limited to five starts this season due to a previous left biceps strain and has posted a 6.00 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, though he showed improvement in his most recent outing.
- The 2024 season has been disappointing for Boyd following his 2023 All-Star performance and participation in the World Baseball Classic.
- Despite Boyd’s absence, the Cubs maintain a strong 24-12 record and lead the National League Central by three games over the Cardinals.
- To fill Boyd’s roster spot, the Cubs have called up reliever Trent Thornton.
