The New York Yankees have always enjoyed a great deal of success against Jeremy Bonderman, with Alex Rodriguez leading the way. Rodriguez, though, will miss his second straight game Wednesday night when the Yankees continue a four-game series against Bonderman and the Detroit Tigers. These teams have split the first two games, with Rodriguez exiting after four innings of Monday’s 3-1 loss because of tightness in his left calf. He sat out Tuesday’s 6-2 victory, and said he will not play Wednesday. Rodriguez had an MRI on Tuesday night and it showed a low grade strain. The slugger is not sure how long he will be out. The three-time AL MVP’s absence is good news for Bonderman, who is 3-8 with a 5.42 ERA in 12 career regular-season starts against New York. Rodriguez has enjoyed the most success of any Yankee with more than five at-bats against the right-hander with a .310 average and two homers.

Cano and Curtis Granderson homered Tuesday as New York avoided a third straight loss and remained in a first-place tie with Tampa Bay atop the AL East. Granderson is 4 for 6 in his first two games against his former club. The Yankees got a boost when Nick Swisher returned to the lineup, saying he will be smarter about taking big swings to protect his sore right elbow. Swisher had a two-run single in four at-bats. Detroit had a three-game win streak snapped despite homers from Brandon Inge and former Yankees minor-leaguer Austin Jackson. The Tigers played without second baseman Carlos Guillen, who was out because of a sore left knee. Guillen suffered the injury Monday when he was taken out on a hard slide by Gardner during a game-ending double play.
