DETROIT -- Right-handed reliever Bruce Rondon was expected to pick up a ball and throw before Friday's game against the White Sox, but his potential return remains uncertain.
Before the game, manager Brad Ausmus said Rondon, who is dealing with biceps tendinitis, was scheduled to throw, but he's going to have to throw on back-to-back days without problems, and then there would be a rehab assignment.
"He'd have to pitch in games, for sure," Ausmus said.
Rondon missed the entire 2014 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He was sidelined earlier this month due to soreness, and Ausmus said it was very common in spring.
