Matthew Boyd returned on Wednesday night, and he was grateful to get the ball for the Chicago Cubs once again. Boyd pitched 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball in Chicago's 7-2 victory over Philadelphia. “I don't think Matt was super sharp, but no walks ... that's still good on the ledger, for sure,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said.

The Cubs got a starter back from the injured list today.
