MagicBizkit87 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3515985 NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi is shooting down speculation that injured right-handed starter Chien-Ming Wang could return to the mound in September. Wang Wang, injured running the bases in Houston on June 15, got the cast off his right foot on Tuesday and is expected to be on crutches with a boot protecting his leg for another week before being re-evaluated.But Girardi said a stretch drive return is out of the question. "The chances of getting him back on September 1st is zero," Girardi said. "October 1st is possible." Wang, a 19-game winner each of the past two seasons, was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA when he got hurt. Girardi said he wouldn't hesitate to throw Wang back into the rotation just as soon as he's ready to go, pennant race or not. "I would not hesitate," Girardi said. "As long as he's healthy we'll throw him out there." The Yankees also reinstated reliever Brian Bruney from the 60-day disabled list before their game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Bruney was added to the 40-man roster, and since the Yankees were below the limit, no player had to be removed. Reliever Chris Britton was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Manager Joe Girardi said Bruney would be worked back in to the bullpen mix slowly at first. If all goes well, Bruney may join Damaso Marte, Jose Veras and Edwar Ramirez as part of the late-inning mix. The Associated Press contributed to this story.

MagicBizkit87 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ok, and since the Yankees aren't going to make the playoffs, so you'll most likely see Wang opening day next season. Stupid ****ing typo on topic. If anybody could put Wang instead of Want, that could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
