Wang Recalled; Bruney Still Hurting

The Yanks recalled Chien-Ming Wang today, after the Yankee bullpen pitched 8.1 innings last night due to Joba taking a liner off his leg.  Jonathan Albaladejo was optioned down to Scranton to make room for Wang, who will be in the pen tonight.  

In other news, Brian Bruney's elbow is apparently acting up again after his one appearance since coming off the DL.  According to AP writer, Ronald Blum, he will take anti-inflammatories this weekend and reassess his condition Sunday when he plays catch.

The loss of Bruney for any stretch would be a critical loss for the Yanks.  Jose Veras, Edwar Ramirez and Jonathan Albaladejo have all pitched from erratic at best to down right horrible.  Yankee call-ups, Dave Robertson and touted rookie, Mark Melancon, didn't fare much better in their short stints with the club.

Maybe Yankee GM, Brian Cashman, might want to start "kicking the tires" out there.
