Brewers' Chourio Leaves NLDS Game 1 with Hamstring Injury After Getting 3 Hits in First 2 Innings
Boyd will pitch on three days’ rest due to his low 58-pitch count in the wild-card win and roster limits after rookie Cade Horton’s injury, Cubs say.
- The Chicago Cubs announced that left-hander Matthew Boyd will start Game 1 of the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in Milwaukee.
- Boyd will start on short rest just four days after delivering 58 pitches over 4 1/3 innings in the Cubs’ wild-card victory earlier this week, reflecting the team’s all-in approach.
- This series marks the first postseason meeting between the Brewers and the Cubs, who are division rivals with a history of close regular-season matchups, as the Brewers try to convert regular-season success into playoff progress.
- Boyd, 34, signed a two-year, $29 million contract with the Cubs in December 2024 and posted a 14-8 record with a 3.21 ERA over 179 2/3 innings this season, while Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, with a 17-6 record and 2.70 ERA, is the probable starter opposing him.
- The outcome will determine which team advances to the National League Championship Series, continuing the Brewers’ pursuit of their first playoff series win in five straight appearances and the Cubs’ aim to repeat their last NLCS run from 2017.
