According to Bruce Levine, Matthew Boyd will be making a rehab start tomorrow in South Bend, a positive step towards his return to the big-league rotation.
Cubs Matt Boyd said he will have rehab start in South Bend Saturday.
— Bruce Levine (@MLBBruceLevine) June 19, 2026It’s been a rough year injury-wise for Boyd, who has already been on the Injured List twice. The first time was due to a left biceps strain, which saw him sit on the Injured List for just 16 days, essentially a minimal stint. After making three more starts, he encountered a freak injury while trying to play with his children, which led to him undergoing surgery on his meniscus.
After two rehab starts with the Iowa Cubs, on May 31 and June 6, it appeared as if Boyd would be ready to face the Giants in San Francisco last week. Alas, as has been the theme all season for the Cubs, Boyd hit a roadblock in his recovery, experiencing soreness in his shoulder.
Thankfully, as Craig Counsell said when it happened, it appears to have been just a minor setback. Boyd is now scheduled to take the mound just nine days after that announcement, which is probably the best-case scenario for this situation.
Saying that the Cubs need Boyd back in the rotation is putting it lightly. Colin Rea and Javier Assad are fine as swing men, but Boyd has thrown in only five games for the team this season. His expected productivity is needed. Even if he isn’t as productive as he was last season, when he made his first-ever All-Star Game, the Cubs could use quality innings from the southpaw.
