Scouting Report: Matthew Wood

Overall

IL-15

Summary

Matthew Boyd, 35-year-old Chicago Cubs left-hander, underwent successful partial left-knee menisectomy surgery on Thursday after suffering a meniscus tear while playing with his children. Expected to miss approximately 4-6 weeks. Boyd is in his 12th MLB season and has struggled in 2026 with a 2-1 record and 6.00 ERA through 5 starts, though his 2.39 FIP suggests better underlying performance. He previously missed time this season with a left biceps strain (April 6-22). The Cubs rotation has been decimated by injuries with Cade Horton out for the season and Justin Steele expected back later in the summer.

Strengths
