Boyd has yet to pitch this season after undergoing flexor tendon surgery. In 78 innings pitched for the Tigers last season, Boyd posted a solid 3.89 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts with a 3-8 record. 

The Giants signed Boyd this past March to a one-year deal, but he never made an appearance for them. The thirty-one-year-old recently threw a 40-pitch bullpen session and should be able to start or work in relief for the Mariners at some point in the near future.
