Begins rehab assignment Boyd (elbow) struck out two over a perfect inning Monday in his first rehab appearance at Triple-A Tacoma.
Impact Acquired from the Giants on Aug. 2, Boyd currently occupies a spot on the Mariners' 60-day injured list but looks on track for activation at some point within the next few weeks. Due to his prolonged recovery from the flexor tendon surgery he underwent last September, Boyd doesn't look like he'll have enough time to get stretched out for a starting role, so he's expected to slot into the Seattle bullpen once he's eventually reinstated from the IL. Though he likely won't factor into the closing situation, Boyd could prove to be a valuable multi-inning arm out of the bullpen.

Throwing to hitters Boyd (elbow) faced hitters in a live batting practice session Monday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
Impact Boyd, whom the Mariners acquired last week in a deadline deal with the Giants, has been on the shelf all season after undergoing left flexor tendon surgery last September. He was diagnosed with a strain in the surgically repaired tendon in June, but after a four-week shutdown period, he was cleared to start throwing again. Boyd appears to have navigated bullpen sessions without any setbacks, so facing hitters likely marks the final hurdle he'll need to clear before heading out on what could be an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The 31-year-old southpaw may not have enough time to build up for a starting role, but he could prove to be a useful asset out of the Seattle bullpen down the stretch.

Sent to Seattle The Mariners acquired Boyd (elbow) from the Giants on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Boyd's move appears to be an addendum to the previously reported trade which sent Curt Casali (oblique) from San Francisco to Seattle in exchange for Michael Stryffeler, meaning the Mariners will be getting a pair of injured players in exchange for the Double-A reliever. Boyd hasn't thrown a pitch in an organized game this year as he makes his way back from flexor tendon surgery, but he resumed throwing in late July after a six-week setback. He's been a starter throughout his career, but the length of his absence means the Mariners are only expecting him to handle a multi-inning relief role upon his return, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He's set to become a free agent this winter.

Tosses side session Boyd (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Boyd was shut down in mid-June after feeling discomfort in his elbow while rehabbing from left flexor tendon surgery, but he's finally received clearance to throw off a mound. The team figures to watch the southpaw closely over the next few days to determine whether he can progress in his rehab.

Shut down with flexor strain Boyd has a flexor tendon strain and won't throw for four weeks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact He will be shut down and then evaluated in four weeks. Boyd had surgery on his flexor tendon in September 2021, so this is a concerning diagnosis. He hasn't pitched at all this season and should be considered out indefinitely.

Experiences elbow discomfort Boyd felt some discomfort in his left elbow during Monday's live batting practice session, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Giants have yet to reveal next steps for Boyd, but the team will likely see how he feels over the course of the next few days before re-evaluating the southpaw. If he's unable to begin a rehab assignment soon, his return date could creep into late July and possibly into August.

Scheduled to face hitters Monday Boyd (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Monday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Boyd has been throwing 40-pitch bullpen sessions since April and has been able to mix in all of his pitches. The southpaw has spent the start of the season recovering from left flexor tendon surgery that he underwent last September, but he'll likely be able to begin a rehab assignment soon before rejoining the Giants in late June or early July.

Webeck adds that Boyd is unlikely to be ready to return when first eligible June 6 -- it's more likely the southpaw returns in late June or early July, depending on if the Giants need him to function as a starter or a reliever.
