With Team USA into the quarterfinals, they have a maximum of three single-elimination games remaining in the World Baseball Classic.
And, since it doesn’t sound like Matthew Boyd is scheduled to get any of those starts, he may instead be returning to the Chicago Cubs to continue stretching out for the season:
Matthew Boyd is expected to return to Cubs camp to be stretched out as starter for season since he wouldn’t get enough innings as a Team USA reliever. Clay Holmes is in a similar spot and may go back to Mets camp. Twins ace Joe Ryan is a candidate to take one USA roster spot.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) March 12, 2026It’s likely a bummer for Boyd, even if he understands the need to continue on his regular ramp-up schedule. His one game appearance in the WBC didn’t go all that well, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he would’ve loved a chance to make a start.
Meanwhile, Boyd’s Cubs teammates Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong will stay with Team USA to try to help bring back a title. Javier Assad will be back with the Cubs after Team Mexico failed to get out of pool play, and it’s TBD whether Jameson Taillon will pitch again for Team Canada. Daniel Palencia is presumably going to be staying with Team Venezuela until the end of the WBC.
