The Chicago Cubs placed left-hander Matthew Boyd on the 15-day injured list and said he will undergo surgery to repair a meniscus in his left knee. The club called up right-hander Trent Thornton to fill Boyd's roster spot while officials gave no timetable for Boyd's return. Boyd's surgery removes an experienced left-handed arm from Chicago's pitching mix, forcing the team to adjust rotation and bullpen planning during the early season.
