Wang OK, gets call for Royals

One day after leaving his start with lower back stiffness, Chien-Ming Wang
was feeling fine yesterday. He felt so good, in fact, that Joe Torre has
penciled him in to start Sunday's series finale in Kansas City.

Torre and pitching coach Ron Guidry wanted to keep Wang on his regular
five-day schedule, so they lined him up for Sunday instead of giving him
a full week between outings.

"The last thing you want to do is get him too strong for his next start,"
Torre said.

The Yankees also wanted to avoid having Wang pitch in Toronto, where the
artificial turf at Rogers Centre works against Wang's groundball style.
In three starts on turf this year, Wang is 1-2 with a 9.00 ERA. His
lone start in Toronto resulted in eight runs over 2-2/3 innings, his worst
outing of the season.

"The fact that he's a sinkerball guy, if we have a chance to keep him off
the turf, we'll take advantage of it," Torre said.

Torre won't announce his rotation for the Toronto series until this weekend,
although he said that Mike Mussina is a candidate to start one of the games
against the Blue Jays.


From NYPOST:

WANG: BACK IS OK
By MIKE PUMA
September 6, 2007 --

Chien-Ming Wang gave all indications yesterday that his lower back is not
an issue, and the right-hander is scheduled to start Sunday in Kansas City.

Wang left Tuesday's start against Seattle in the eighth inning after
struggling to get loose, but after applying a heating pad to his back
yesterday he said he felt better.

"I feel good, no problem," Wang said before the Yankees' 10-2 victory over
the Mariners.

Today's off day will allow Wang to pitch on a full four days' rest Sunday,
letting Joe Torre skip over Roger Clemens' spot in the rotation. Torre had
no news yesterday on Clemens, who remained in Houston after receiving a
cortisone shot in his right elbow.

Mike Mussina was a candidate to pitch Sunday, but Torre said he wanted
Wang, a sinkerballer, to start on the natural grass in Kansas City, as
opposed to the artificial turf in Toronto next week.


From Journal News:

No wait for Wang: The idea of having Chien-Ming Wang sitting around for
seven days until his next start did not sit well with Torre, who decided
yesterday to use his most dependable pitcher on Sunday in Kansas City
instead of Mike Mussina.

"The last thing you want to do is get him too strong," Torre said.

Keeping the sinkerballer off the artificial turf in Toronto was also
factored into the decision.

Wang left Tuesday's game in the eighth inning with a stiff back. He only
threw 84 pitches, and reported no pain yesterday. Wang is 1-2 with a 9.00
ERA on artificial turf. He gave up eight runs in 2 2/3 innings on Aug. 8
at the Rogers Centre.
