Matthew Boyd is headed back to the injured list.
The 2025 all-star is set to have meniscus surgery on his left knee, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Wednesday.
The injury apparently happened while Boyd was sitting down to play with his kids, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
Boyd, 35, had just returned from a stint on the 15-day IL on April 22, missing a couple weeks due to a left-bicep strain.
The left-hander agreed to a two-year, $29-million contract with the Cubs prior to the 2025 season.
He had a 3.21 ERA with 154 strikeouts and 42 walks over 31 starts last year, and made the an all-star team for the first time in his career at age 34.
However, Boyd has struggled amid injury issues so far this season, recording a 6.00 ERA. Although, he does have 31 strikeouts to only six walks over 24 innings, and most recently pitched his first quality start of the season on May 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
