Detroit — Look who’s back.
When the Tigers welcome the Seattle Mariners to Comerica Park for three games this week, a very familiar face will be setting up shop in the visitors' clubhouse.
Lefty Matthew Boyd, non-tendered by the Tigers last year after being a mainstay in the rotation for the better part of seven seasons, is expected to be activated off the injured list by the Mariners and be available out of the bullpen.
Boyd's last appearance on a big-league mound was with the Tigers on Sept. 4, 2021. He left after four innings because of an arm injury that eventually was diagnosed as a flexor tendon strain.
