Cubs roster move: Matthew Boyd activated, Luke Little optioned
•Yahoo Sports
The Cubs got a starter back from the injured list today.
Matthew Boyd spent about two weeks on the injured list with a biceps issue. The left-hander made one rehab start in which he struck out six and was deemed ready to return. So, the Cubs activated Boyd from the 15-day injured list this afternoon and he will start tonight’s game against the Phillies.
To make room for Boyd on the 26-man active roster, left-hander Luke Little was optioned to Triple-A Iowa.. Little appeared in one game for the Cubs, April 15 in Philadelphia , and allowed one run in the one inning he threw. He’ll likely be back at some point later in the season as he rides the Iowa Shuttle.
As always, we await developments. Today’s game preview will post at 4:30 p. m.
