"After missing much of 2024 due to injury, Boyd recorded a 3.21 ERA in 2025. He logged 179.2 innings, the most he has thrown since 2019. Boyd was elite at Wrigley Field, posting a 2.51 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 89.2 innings at the Federal Landmark. Since injuries have been a major concern for Boyd over the last several years, the idea of him adding innings to his workload before the regular season begins is concerning."

Matthew Boyd committed to play for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. He is the second Chicago Cubs player on the roster after Pete Crow-Armstrong. After missing much of 2024 with injury, Boyd posted a 3.21 ERA in 2025 while throwing 179.2 innings, his highest total since 2019. He excelled at Wrigley Field, recording a 2.51 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 89.2 home innings. With a history of injuries, adding WBC innings before the regular season raises workload and health concerns. The Cubs approved Boyd's participation but plan extra monitoring, and catcher Cal Raleigh has offered offseason bullpen work.
