Thoracic outlet syndrome shortened the 2009 season for both Detroit’s Jeremy Bonderman and Texas’ Matt Harrison, but each pitcher has been promising at times this month. The two recovering starters will square off Monday night as the Tigers try to finish their 11-game road trip by salvaging a split of a four-game set with the Rangers. Complications from thoracic outlet surgery limited Bonderman to a combined 13 starts in 2008 and 2009, while Harrison had an operation to correct a similar shoulder problem after 11 outings last year. Both were ready in time for the start of this season, and Bonderman has been solid in two of his three starts despite his poor overall ERA.

The right-hander allowed one hit and one run in five innings of a 4-2 win over Cleveland on April 10, then rebounded from an ugly outing against Seattle with six strong innings during Detroit’s 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
The Tigers could certainly use another good start after their bullpen was forced to work 10 innings in the last two games. Right-hander Rick Porcello struggled in Sunday’s 8-4 loss as Detroit’s AL-worst starting rotation ERA grew to 5.83. Detroit, which is 4-6 on its longest road trip of the season, won 8-4 on Saturday after opening the series with a 5-4 defeat Friday night. Texas third baseman Michael Young posed the biggest problem for the Tigers on Sunday, going 3 for 4 with five RBIs. The veteran could be in store for another strong game Monday, considering he is 7 for 18 with two homers against Bonderman.
