Tapped for Game 1 start
Boyd will start Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series on Tuesday against the Padres, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Boyd has been named the top choice for Chicago to open up the wild-card round after Cade Horton went down with a rib injury. Shota Imanaga was presumably also in the conversation, but given his shaky 5.97 ERA over his last six starts, it'll be Boyd who gets the call in Game 1, with Imanaga a candidate to follow in Game 2. Boyd faced San Diego in two starts during the regular season, both in April, surrendering two runs on 11 hits and three walks while striking out eight across 11.1 frames.

Grabs 14th win
Boyd (14-8) earned the win Wednesday against the Mets, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings.
Analyse
Coming off a rough outing in which he lasted just three frames versus Pittsburgh, the left-hander bounced back strong by retiring 13 of the first 15 batters he faced. His lone blemish came in the fifth, when Francisco Alvarez connected for a two-run homer. Boyd had entered the contest struggling with a 6.54 ERA across his previous six starts, but he closed the regular season on a high note. In his first year with the Cubs, the 34-year-old was a steady rotation piece, finishing with a 3.21 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 154:42 K:BB through 179.2 innings.
