Career
Bonilla signed as an international free agent with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008.

The Rangers promoted Bonilla to the major leagues on September 2, 2014.[3] He made his major league debut on September 4, pitching three innings against the Seattle Mariners, and allowing two hits.[4] Bonilla started the 2015 season the 15-day disabled list due to shoulder impingement.[5] On April 11, it was announced Bonilla had also suffered an elbow injury. He was moved to the 60-day disabled list.[6]
On October 21, 2015, he was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers.[7][8] However, they chose to non-tender him on December 2, making him a free agent.[9] The Dodgers later re-signed him to a minor league contract with a spring training invitation[10] and he was assigned to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers to begin the season.[11] He pitched in 24 games for Oklahoma City and seven for the Tulsa Drillers in 2016. He was 5–7 in the 31 games and made 13 starts. His combined ERA was 3.97.[12]
