Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd outdueled the combination of Lance Lynn and Sonny Gray on Sunday, tossing six innings while allowing five hits and three earned runs as part of an 11-7 Tigers victory. He also struck out six and walked just one, throwing 64 of his 98 pitches for strikes. Two of his three earned runs came via solo homers as Aaron Hicks and Luke Voit took him deep in the 1st and 4th innings, respectively. Boyd's season numbers don't jump off the page, but he's definitely worth streaming when faced with a favorable matchup. He has a 9-12 record, 4.24 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 137/46 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 153 innings. Give Boyd a look if you are in a 12+ team or AL-only league.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd tossed six innings against the Royals on Tuesday, and five of those innings were pretty darn good. The problem for Boyd was the one bad inning, a five-run frame in the third inning. Boyd allowed a single and a walk through the first two innings before the outburst, and after that five-run frame managed to retire 11 of the next 13 batters to finish out six innings. It's a small silver lining for Boyd, who falls to 8-12 on the year with a 4.22 ERA, but it does reiterate what we've seen from him all season: Boyd has potential to be a serviceable starter for fantasy purposes when he puts it all together.

Boyd (8-12) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings against the Royals.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd has struggled for much of the 2018 season, but turned in a solid performance on Thursday. The young southpaw threw six innings against the White Sox, keeping them off the scoreboard while scattering six hits and six strikeouts and issuing just one walk. Boyd is, at best, a streaming option against teams who struggle to hit lefties, but it was still a positive sign for a player looking to finish out the season on a high note. At age 27, Boyd still has potential to become a relevant fantasy starter in the future.

Boyd (8-11) fired six scoreless innings and earned the win Thursday, yielding six hits and a walk while striking out six in the 7-2 win over the White Sox.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd pitched a very serviceable game on Thursday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox, throwing six strong innings of six-hit, no-run baseball. Boyd also registered six strikeouts against just one walk, throwing 65 of his 103 pitches for strikes to improve his record to 8-11 for the year. Boyd has enjoyed a resurgent season in 2018, posting career-bests with a 4.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 127/42 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 141 innings. Boyd has a good K/9 (8.07) and HR/9 (1.1), so it is conceivable that he can remain fantasy-relevant for the remainder of the year when faced with plus-matchups.
