| October 5, 2007 Manager Joe Torre hasn't ruled out starting Chien-Ming Wang in Game 4 on three days' rest, according to the New York Post. Wang gave up eight runs in 4 2/3 innings against Cleveland on Thursday. "First off, let me tell you, I am not afraid of Wang pitching against Cleveland again. He didn't pitch his game tonight. You know, you win 19 games in this league, you certainly earn it. I am certainly not going to shy away from pitching him again." If Torre decides not to start Wang in Game 4, Mike Mussina would be the most likely option. |
| September 29, 2007 Chien-Ming Wang will start Game 1 of the division series against the Angels. "He's handled the stress and pressure very well," manager Joe Torre said of Wang in the AP. "Even though it doesn't appear he's very emotional, he's got a fire in his belly." |
| September 5, 2007 The Yankees were forced to juggle their starting rotation Wednesday for their upcoming weekend series against the Royals.

| April 19, 2007 Chien-Ming Wang worked five innings in a rehab start for Single-A Tampa on Thursday night. He allowed five hits and three runs. "He's ready to go," Yankees vice president Billy Connors told the AP. "The main thing at this time is the pitch count and he got to 74, then he went down to the bullpen and threw an extra 15. He's fine." Wang injured his right hamstring on March 23 and is expected to make his regular season debut on Tuesday, April 24. |
| April 17, 2007 Chien-Ming Wang, who is on the DL with a strained right hamstring, played catch and participated in fielding drills in Tampa on Tuesday, according to the AP.

Torre said Wang would probably need two minor league starts before returning. |

"You're talking late April," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Saturday. "You don't want stuff like that to happen, but unfortunately it does happen. When they happen, you handle it." Jeff Karstens or Darrell Rasner will likely take Wang's spot in the rotation. |

| March 11, 2007 Chien-Ming Wang worked through minor tightness in his right wrist Sunday to hold the Indians to three hits and a run over four innings, according to the AP.
