Cubs' Matthew Boyd to return Wednesday vs. Phillies and closer Daniel Palencia is progressing

Boyd is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two starts, while Palencia could resume throwing later this week after an MRI confirmed a mild lat strain.

  • Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd will start Wednesday against Philadelphia after missing three weeks with a biceps strain, manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday.
  • Closer Daniel Palencia landed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to April 14 after an MRI confirmed a mild left lat strain, Counsell said.
  • Named an All-Star for the first time last season, Boyd went 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA over 31 starts and 179 2/3 innings in his first year with the Cubs.
  • Reliever Porter Hodge underwent reconstructive right elbow surgery on Monday, with recovery requiring 12 to 14 months, Counsell said.
  • Palencia is responding well to treatment and could resume throwing as early as later this week, targeting a return in early May.
