Elbow Ouch

Yesterday I wondered if Bonderman's elbow had been bothering him for a while. The answer is not good:

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland said the team will probably shut down the right-hander because of a nagging elbow injury that is not getting better. "This guy is a trooper and wanted to go out there for us," Leyland said Sunday after the Seattle Mariners beat Detroit 14-7. "But he's not right."

Bonderman (11-9) gave up six runs and seven hits in 1 1-3 innings -- matching the shortest outing of his five-year career -- in what might end up being his final outing of the season.

"I wanted to go out and give it a chance," he said. "I didn't really help anybody -- myself or the team."

Bonderman is scheduled to have his elbow examined on Monday.

"It's frustrating, but at least now we're going to find out a reason why this is happening," he said. "I've had it for a while, and it's been getting worse over a period of time.
