Wang Leaves Game; Likely To Go On DL

POSTED: 10:15 pm EDT July 4, 2009

(Sports Network) - New York Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang left Saturday's 6-5, 12-inning victory against the Toronto Blue Jays with a shoulder injury, and an MRI after the game indicated he may be headed to the disabled list.

Wang, who was just 1-6 on the season entering play, departed in the sixth inning with a right shoulder strain. He did not factor in the decision, allowing six hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings.

The MRI revealed the strain in the shoulder as well as bursitis, meaning Wang may miss a month's worth of action.

It will be the second stint on the DL this season for the former two-time, 19- game winner. Wang was sidelined earlier in the year with weakness in the abductor muscles of both hips.

The Yankees have not named a start for Thursday, Wang's next turn in the starting rotation.
