Chicago Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd underwent surgery to repair a partial meniscus tear in his left knee, an injury he sustained while playing with his children. Cubs manager Craig Counsell anticipates Boyd will be sidelined for about six weeks. The injury adds to the Cubs’ challenges, as Boyd joins other pitchers like Cade Horton and Justin Steele on the injured list. Counsell is considering options like Javier Assad and Ben Brown to fill Boyd’s spot in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Cubs have made roster changes, recalling relievers Trent Thornton and Gavin Hollowell, while designating Corbin Martin for assignment. The Cubs recently secured their third consecutive walk-off win against the Cincinnati Reds, marking their 14th straight home victory.
