Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Matthew Boyd is set to make his Cleveland Guardians debut on Tuesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs. The veteran left-hander has previously pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, and Seattle Mariners in his career, compiling a career 4.94 ERA, 1.322 WHIP, and 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings. This will be Boyd's first start since last season, after undergoing Tommy John surgery, which ended his second stint with Detroit.

Boyd has only faced the batters in Chicago's lineup a handful of times, with two members of their lineup doing most of the damage against him. Ian Happ is 3-3 with a double and a home run, while Dansby Swanson is 2-3, also recording a double and home run. The only other Cubs batter to record a hit is David Bote, managing a double in three at-bats.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Javier Assad gets the nod for the Cubs, as they are looking to get back in the win column. Assad is coming off two straight outings of 4 innings pitched, both of which happened to be wins for Chicago. Abbreviated outings are nothing new for Assad, considering he has reached the 6-inning mark just once since the middle of May. Cleveland will look to run up his pitch count early to force yet another early exit for Assad.
