Goldeyes’ starting pitcher Luke Boyd (DAVE MAHUSSIER / WINNIPEG GOLDEYES)
The Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed right-handed starting pitcher Luke Boyd for the 2026 season.
Boyd started 17 games last season, posting a 5-10 record with a 4.53 earned run average over 95.1 innings.
The California native, 28, was originally chosen in the 38th round of the 2019 June amateur draft by the Los Angeles Angels out of Baylor University in Texas before returning to college. He re-entered the draft in 2021 and was selected in the 17th round by the San Diego Padres.
Boyd played the 2023 season with the Cleburne Railroaders under Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins. He played parts of three seasons in Cleburne while also making a stop with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in 2024.
“We’re happy to have Luke back for 2026,” said Watkins. “When we acquired Luke last year, we were in desperate need of starting pitching, and he showed up and competed for us every time he took the ball. I fully believe he’s capable of being really effective for us in either a starting or relief role, and the trust he built with us last season gives us a lot of confidence in him.”
Winnipeg now has 14 players under contract for the 2026 season.
