Chicago Cubs: Craig Counsell makes disappointing Matthew Boyd announcement
The Chicago Cubs are in the midst of a horrid stretch of baseball. They have not won a series against any team since early May, a four-game split with the Pittsburgh Pirates as their only non-losing series during that time. Currently, they are in danger of losing a series to the lowly Colorado Rockies, who were just coming off of being swept at home by the Milwaukee Brewers.
One of the issues the Cubs have had all season long, even when they were winning 10 games in a row, was how many injuries their pitching staff sustained. Indeed, Chicago has yet to field their preferred starting rotation for 2026, and due to season-ending injuries, they never will be able to.
Matthew Boyd will not start for the Chicago Cubs this weekend
One of the many Cubs pitchers that has spent a majority of this season on the injured list is All-Star Matthew Boyd. He missed some time early in the year with a shoulder injury, but recent surgery for a torn meniscus is what has kept him out for weeks at this point.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Boyd was close to coming back and would pitch for the Cubs over the weekend. Unfortunately, that will no longer be happening.
“It’s his shoulder … We think this is minor, that’s the hope, and we can get back on the mound pretty quickly and not lose a lot of time here.”

As seen in the post above, manager Craig Counsell said on Wednesday, “It’s his shoulder … We think this is minor, that’s the hope, and we can get back on the mound pretty quickly and not lose a lot of time here.”
Boyd is 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA in five starts this season.
Right now, it does not sound like Chicago has a good idea of exactly what is wrong with Boyd’s shoulder. Hopefully it is not serious so he can provide some much-needed depth to their depleted rotation.
