One more game in the minor leagues -- that is probably all it will take before Jeremy Bonderman is ready to return to the Tigers’ starting rotation.
        Bonderman will make his third, and probably last, rehab start on Tuesday night with Triple-A Toledo. If all continues to go well, he could be ready to make his 2009 debut with the Tigers during the first week in June when the team returns home to face the Red Sox and Angels.
        That decision could hinge on how well Armando Galarraga pitches on Saturday and how Dontrelle Willis does on Sunday.
        “Pain-wise, it’s ‘all systems go,’ ” Jim Leyland said Friday after reviewing the reports on Bonderman’s six-inning Triple-A performance on Thursday night and speaking with Jeremy himself.
        “He’s very pumped up, he feels great, he’s building his arm back up,” the manager continued. “He couldn’t really build his arm up during spring training because it was hurting.”
        Bonderman allowed seven hits and five runs Thursday.
        “It was a very positive outing,” insisted Leyland. “The report was, he kind of ran out of gas. He kind of hit the wall.”
        Nevertheless, Bonderman was clocked at between 89 and 92 mph, an improvement over his previous two starts.
