Boyd allowed five runs in his rehab start and threw 83 pitches as Chicago plans to add him back to an injury-hit rotation.
- Cubs opening-day starter Matthew Boyd completed a five-inning rehab start at Triple-A Iowa on Saturday and is expected to rejoin Chicago's rotation by next weekend.
- Boyd is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee suffered at home on May 4, following a three-week absence in April due to a biceps strain.
- During his five-inning rehab start, the left-hander threw 83 pitches, 64 for strikes. Manager Craig Counsell said, "Got to the 80-pitch mark, which is a good thing."
- The Cubs held two-time Gold Glove-winning shortstop Dansby Swanson out of the lineup for a second straight game on Sunday due to ongoing hitting struggles.
- Manager Craig Counsell said Swanson would likely return Tuesday when the Cubs open a series at Colorado, followed by a weekend set against the Giants in San Francisco.
