Tigers Reinstate Matthew Boyd, Option Daz Cameron

By Darragh McDonald | August 29, 2021 at 8:26am CDT

The Tigers have reinstated left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd from the 60-day injured list, per a team announcement. Boyd will start this afternoon’s game against the Blue Jays. To make room on the active roster, outfielder Daz Cameron was optioned to Triple-A. No corresponding move was required for the 40-man roster as the team has multiple slots available.

Before going on the IL in mid-June with a triceps issue, Boyd was en route to perhaps his best season to date. Through 70 2/3 innings, the 30-year-old has an ERA of 3.44, almost a full run better than his previous best of 4.39 in 2018. With his return, he will have more than a month to try and build on that success before going into what could be his last offseason as a Tiger. He is currently slated to reach free agency after the 2022 season, which figures to be an important campaign both for he and the club. For Boyd, he will be looking to have a strong platform season in order to earn a nice paycheck on the open market, but the team will be looking to make a move from rebuilding to contending. The emergence of young starters such as Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning has strengthened the rotation around Boyd, giving the club a framework to build upon.

As for Cameron, it’s been something of a stop-and-start season for the outfielder. This is his second time being optioned this year, and he’s been on the IL twice as well. Amidst all of that, he’s gotten into 25 games at the MLB level, putting up a line of .177/.235/.342, wRC+ of 55. However, the 24-year-old has much better numbers in his 23 Triple-A games, a wRC+ of 130 thanks to a line of .309/368/.495.

    Sorry to see Cameron demoted but hopefully Toledo will do something to straighten his swing out. It’ll be interesting to see what Boyd brings back to the table. He was pretty dominant in his rehab stint with the Mud Hens but now is he able to translate that into being again a solid pitcher at the major league level?

    Sad to see Cameron Daz go, she was a great actress and will always be remembered for Something About Mary.

      If she married Daz she’d be Cameron Cameron, which is why he should take her name and be Daz Diaz.

      The relationship may not last, but they gave name-game love a chance.

    To be expected. We’re playing with five outfielders, just not enough at bats to go around. So no surprise that Cameron got demoted with Boyd’s reinstatement.

    Daz hit much better before his injury with improving pitch recognition. Lack of consistent at-bats is probably harming his ability to regain the skills he previously showed. Better to hit every day against AAA pitching than starting 2x-3x a week against MLB pitching.
