Chien-Ming Wang:
After three terrible starts, a bad start in an extended Spring Training game, and a bad diagnosis, Chien-Ming Wang is hitting the DL. The Yankees think that Wang's "weak abductor muscles in his hips" were the primary cause of his lack of success this year. David Robertson will be called up to replace him but will most likely be sent down before Wang's next start. Phil Hughes will probably then be called up to take the ball against the Tigers.
Cody Ransom:
Ransom has also been placed on the DL as he injured his hip while sliding into second base on Friday. Ransom, who has been diagnosed with an injury to his right quadriceps, was supposed to hold the fort down until A-Rod came back from his injury. However, the Yankees now will have to replace him with an infielder at Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre. Angel Berroa would probably be the most likely candidate.
Brian Bruney:
Now this one just sucks. Wang and Ransom weren't doing so well, but Bruney was on fire before he complained in some soreness in his elbow. He is now back in New York getting it examined. Yankee fans, lets hold our breath on this one.
Hideki Matsui:
After getting his knee drained on April 16th, Matsui has come back better than ever. Since that time, he's 7-17 (.411) and he feels that "little by little, (the knee) is getting better."
