The Taiwanese RHP for the Yankees, Chien-Ming Wang, has been taken off the rotation for this weekend’s series against the Boston Red Sox. The pitcher was not pleased about it, as he feels that it’s his job to go out and pitch everytime he’s scheduled. But the team doesn’t want to put him on the mound until they can fix him. He’s clearly broken in some way, and no one is quite sure how. Last year, he was an impressive pitcher till he hurt his leg on 3rd base. This season, he’s pitched 3 times already, and given up 8 runs in each of two games and 7 in another, resulting in a 34.5 ERA. This is a bad start for Wang and he’s clearly right in most opponent’s wheelhouse at the moment. They’re going to take him out to retool for a little while and see what they can change about his delivery to get him back in the lineup.
