Jeremy Bonderman has decided to accept his assignment to Triple-A Tacoma.
Bonderman posted an 8.80 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings this spring, but he'll continue his comeback attempt in the minors rather than request his release. He's a poor bet to have any sort of impact this season. Mar 31 - 1:57 PM

Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik has yet to hear whether Jeremy Bonderman will accept an assignment to Triple-A Tacoma.

Bonderman posted an 8.80 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings this spring, but the M's are hoping he'll choose to continue his comeback attempt with them. Brandon Maurer and Blake Beavan won the final two spots in Seattle's rotation.

Mariners reassigned RHP Jeremy Bonderman to minor league camp.

Bonderman struggled in his comeback attempt this spring, posting an 8.80 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings. The Mariners have settled on Brandon Maurer and Blake Beavan for the final two spots in the starting rotation.
Mar 27 - 3:26 PM

Jeremy Bonderman was lit up for seven runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Royals Tuesday.

He surrendered 11 hits, walked one and struck out a pair, and his velocity had fallen to the mid-80s by the end of the outing. Bonderman looked pretty good early on in camp, but he now holds an 8.80 ERA with just seven strikeouts over 15 1/3 frames. It's possible he'll stick around in a long relief role, but he can now probably be safely ruled out for a rotation spot.
Mar 26 - 7:48 PM

Jeremy Bonderman continued writing his comeback story in Friday's victory over the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits over four innings of work.

Bonderman didn't walk a batter on the afternoon and struck out two. The 30-year-old right-hander was never a serious candidate to open the season in the Mariners' rotation, but has likely shown enough to stick around in a long-relief role. He's unlikely to have any impact in fantasy leagues this season.
Mar 15 - 7:44 PM

Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Jeremy Bonderman "continues to impress" in camp.

Bonderman struck out two over three innings of one-run ball Thursday. He had allowed five runs over his first three spring innings, but obviously Wedge has been pleased with the righty's stuff. It would likely take an injury for Bonderman to have a shot at a rotation spot, but it sounds like he has a good shot to stick around in a long relief role.
Mar 7 - 8:25 PM

Mariners manager Eric Wedge was impressed with right-hander Jeremy Bonderman after his second side session on Friday.

Wedge has been impressed at Bonderman's readiness so early in camp. Still just 30-years-old, the injury prone veteran actually has a chance at cracking the Mariners opening day starting rotation if he has a successful spring. It's unlikely he'll be an impact player in fantasy leagues, but remember he has shown high-strikeout ability in the past.
Feb 15 - 9:36 PM

According to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times, Jeremy Bonderman will get a shot at cracking the Mariners' starting rotation.

The Mariners didn't see Bonderman throw prior to signing him, but the plan is to let him compete with Hector Noesi and Erasmo Ramirez for one of the final spots in their Opening Day rotation. Coming back from Tommy John surgery, the odds remain stacked against Bonderman winning a job. He hasn't pitched since being released in 2010 and has a 4.89 ERA over eight major league seasons.

Mariners signed RHP Jeremy Bonderman to a minor league contract.

The deal includes a spring training invite. Bonderman has been out of the majors since 2010 and had Tommy John surgery this past April, but he's hoping to make a comeback in 2013. The 30-year-old has a 4.89 ERA over eight major league seasons and will have the odds stacked against him to win a roster spot.

Jeremy Bonderman told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that he could sign with a team by this weekend.

Bonderman hasn't pitched in the majors since 2010, but he's now fully recovered from Tommy John surgery and plans on making a comeback. The Tigers and Mariners are among the club who have reportedly expressed interest. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal with a spring training invite.

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that the Mariners have expressed interest in right-hander Jeremy Bonderman.

Bonderman hasn't pitched in the majors since 2010, but he's recovered from Tommy John surgery and plans on making a comeback next season. Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reported last week that the Tigers have offered him a contract. The Washington native will likely have to settle for a minor league deal. Bonderman, 30, has a 4.89 ERA over eight major league seasons.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Tigers have offered Jeremy Bonderman a contract.

Bonderman hasn't pitched in the majors since 2010, but he's recovered from Tommy John surgery and is intent on pursuing a comeback. Still just 30 years old, the right-hander spent all eight years of his career with the Tigers. They likely are offering him a non-guaranteed minor league deal.

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, Jeremy Bonderman is progressing well in his recovery from Tommy John surgery and is intent on making a return to the MLB in 2013.

Bonderman underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2012 and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since posting a disappointing 5.53 ERA over 171 innings with the Tigers in 2010. He's allegedly dropped 35 pounds and is in fantastic shape, and should be able to generate a spring training invitation from somewhere.

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that Jeremy Bonderman underwent elbow reconstructive surgery Tuesday "with the intent of working his way back to the big leagues next spring."

Bonderman didn't pitch at all last season after posting a 5.53 ERA over 171 innings for the Tigers in 2010. He's still just 29 years old, so he figures to get a spring training invite somewhere, but the odds are against him making a major league roster.
Wed, Apr 25, 2012 12:08:00 PM

ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick heard Tuesday that Jeremy Bonderman is likely to sit out this season.

Bonderman has drawn very little interest on the open market this offseason and most teams already have enough pitching depth in camp by now. The 28-year-old right-hander posted an ugly 5.53 ERA over 171 innings with the Tigers last season. Maybe a club will get desperate enough around mid-summer.
