The Cubs have placed left-hander Matthew Boyd on the 15-day injured list with a left bicep strain, retroactive to April 3rd, and will recall right-hander Javier Assad to start tomorrow’s game. Boyd’s performance had varied, with six earned runs in his first start and a strong rebound with ten strikeouts in his second, though his velocity decreased. This injury adds to the Cubs’ rotation woes, as Justin Steele is on the 60-day IL and Cade Horton also recently went on the IL. Despite the setbacks, Assad and Colin Rea provide viable options for the rotation moving forward.
