Detroit Tigers pitcher Matthew Boyd was sent to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The starter had made 11 starts on the year for Detroit, logging a 0.5 WAR, a 14.4 strikeout percentage and a 4.65 FIP in 55.1 innings.

He also notched a 5.69 ERA, a 5.01 xFIP and a 1.771 WHIP on the year.

All told, Boyd punched out 6.0 batters and allowed 3.9 walks per nine innings.

The Washington native performed well to begin the year, with a 3.89 ERA and 29 strikeouts through his first seven starts (39.1 frames).

However, he struggled soon after.
