Rondon expected to throw Tuesday.
DETROIT -- Bruce Rondon's last pitch in a game was a 102-mph fastball to strikeout Red Sox slugger David Ortiz on Sept. 2. Since then, he's been dealing with some tenderness in his right elbow and has been unavailable out of the bullpen.
"He's OK, no red flags, but we backed him off," manager Jim Leyland said. "He's going to, I believe, throw tomorrow."
Leyland said symptoms of pain in Rondon's elbow developed about a week ago. Before his final pitch to Ortiz, he threw a 103-mph fastball for a strike, his fastest pitch of the season.
Since August, Rondon has a 1.32 ERA, allowing two runs on 11 hits in 13 2/3 innings while striking out 15 and walking six.

Separated shoulder to end Worth's season.
DETROIT -- A season that began badly for Danny Worth in Triple-A Toledo will end even worse with the Tigers. The versatile utility infielder is done for the season after separating his left shoulder on a diving stop at third a week and a half ago in Kansas City.
The injury will not require surgery, Worth has been told, but doctors recommended a six-week rehab program. He'll undergo his end-of-season physical on Tuesday, then drive back home to California with his wife.
The Tigers were hoping Worth's arm would respond to rest, but even running put his shoulder in pain, eliminating the option of using him just to pinch-run. The only baseball activity can he do is throw.

"I was going to pinch-run a couple days after [the injury]," Worth said, "and I went down to warm up. But when I moved my arm back, it was killing me. So I was like, 'Oh boy.'"

Thus ends a season that began with Worth being a legitimate candidate to make the Opening Day roster. He lasted in camp until the end of Spring Training before losing out to Ramon Santiago for the utility infield job. Worth reported to Toledo, bruised his left heel lunging for first base April 18, made it back to Toledo in mid-June, hit .238 with a home run and 22 RBIs in 69 games for the Mud Hens, and then finally joined the Tigers as a September callup.

Worth appeared in three games as a late-inning defensive replacement before his shoulder popped out on a diving stop at third base. He had replaced Miguel Cabrera in the 16-2 win over the Royals.
"It's been a year-long frustration adventure," Worth summarized.

Bonderman throws breaking ball without pain.
DETROIT -- Jeremy Bonderman was able to throw a breaking ball off a mound without pain for the first time in a couple of days after developing tendinitis and inflammation in his right thumb.
Bonderman originally injured his thumb in Spring Training when he was with the Mariners. He took a cortisone shot at the time and the pain subsided until this month. Bonderman recently had an MRI, which showed there was no further damage.
"Today I didn't feel it at all," Bonderman said. "I'm happy with that."
Bonderman was finished for the 2011 season and missed the next year due to Tommy John surgery.
"[Trainers] said my problem could be my not playing for two years and getting back in it," said Bonderman. "It got irritated from throwing again. I was glad nothing was torn."

September 17 in Tigers history:

1910: Detroit pitcher Ed Summers, a notoriously poor hitter, bounces two home runs into the stands in a 10 - 3 victory over the A's. The two homers, both off Harry Krause, will comprise his career total.

1920: The Tigers' Bobby Veach and the Giants' George Burns hit for the cycle, the first time it has happened twice on the same day. It will be 88 years until the feat is duplicated by Adri?n Beltre and Stephen Drew. Veach has his cycle in the Tigers 14 - 13 win over boston and knocks in 6 runs. Ty Cobb has 4 walks ans scores 4 runs.

1934 - The Yankees reach Detroit for a last-chance series and lose the opener, as veteran Al Crowder beats Lefty Gomez with a 3 - 0 shutout.

1958 - Despite a wind blowing in at Briggs Stadium, Mickey Mantle poles a Jim Bunning pitch down the right field line over the roof onto Trumbull Avenue, some 500 feet away. The 2-run homer is all that Bunning allows as the Tigers win 5 - 2. Reno Bertoia playing 3B for the Tigers is the hitting star with 2 homeruns.

1968: Detroit clinches the American League pennant with a 2 - 1 win over the Yankees. Detroit is ahead 1 - 0 when Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey phones Tiger general manager Jim Campbell with the news that the Sox have beaten the Orioles, clinching the pennant for the Tigers. Campbell keeps the score off the radio and the scoreboard, fearing the news will send fans rampaging onto the field. Don Wert singles home PH Al Kaline who walked earlier in the inning with the winner in the 9th and the fans tear down the left field screen.
