Andrews to examine Wang on Tuesday
Chien-Ming Wang said this afternoon that he will travel to Alabama tomorrow
to be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday.
Andrews, it seems, will have the final say as to whether Wang needs more
rest or surgery. It was Andrews who performed shoulder surgery on Wang in
2001 when he was in the minor leagues. So if he needs it again, it would
seem to make sense that he would stay there and get it done.
Obviously any sort of shoulder surgery would end his season. But don’t
assume surgery. Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte both visited Andrews earlier
this season and did not do under the knife.

A little more information on Wang
Here’s an update on Chien-Ming Wang:
When he got the second MRI on Tuesday, it revealed a possible rotator-cuff
tear. The question is whether it’s a new injury or scar tissue from the
operation he had back in 2000.
Because Dr. James Andrews did that surgery, he will examine Wang on Tuesday
and figure it all out. If Wang does have a new tear, he’ll be out the rest
of this season and part of 2010. Wang, as you might expect, is nervous about
what Andrews might find.
If Wang does need surgery, the Yankees could non-tender him in December
rather than have him rehab on their dime.
So we should find out more on Tuesday. Baseball-wise, It has been a rough
13 months for CMW, that’s for sure.
