Chien-Ming Wang can't tell you when he will get another opportunity to start in a big league game, but he knows that Phil Hughes' eight scoreless innings on Monday certainly didn't help. lxoc.KDtR

Still in the unfamiliar role of a long reliever, Wang said Tuesday that manager Joe Girardi told him there are still no plans to insert him into the rotation and that he will continue with the Yankees as a reliever for now. 9t@^P^}=\m

The adjustment to a patchwork reliever has been difficult and frustrating for Wang, who threw 13 consecutive scoreless innings over two rehab starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. amq]&.M

"I was starting and pitching good," Wang said. "I have to wait for a chance." !Cxo4Twg

He has made one appearance in relief for New York, allowing two runs in a three-inning outing on Friday against the Phillies, and is available for use beginning on Tuesday. Wang has spoken in a team-first manner, but the two-time 19-game winner would clearly prefer to be starting. OJ8 ac6cJ

As of this moment, though, there are no clear-cut opportunities with which to give him that chance. Girardi said that Hughes will make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Indians in Cleveland, which leaves Wang as a reliever for now. bK;I :JK3

"I think he's somewhat frustrated by it," Girardi said. "It's the way you'd expect anyone to be if you'd been through what he's been through the last couple of months. I believe he understands that he's here to help us, and we feel really strongly that he can be a big part of this club. We need to get him back to where he needs to be." JwWW w1

In an ideal world, the Yankees would have kept Wang on rehab for one more start and he would have pitched Friday at Pawtucket, but that Minor League trip was nixed when Joba Chamberlain was hit Thursday by a line drive and was uncertain to make this next start against the Rangers. N) ,bhYS]

"It was what we needed, and we needed him," Girardi said. "Sometimes things are done out of necessity. It doesn't always go according to plans and what you envisioned. We needed him and now that he's here, we still feel that we need him." ~$XbY R-

"It's kind of a tricky situation," Girardi said. "You don't want to give him a lot of work, because that means our starters aren't going long. But we do want to get him work and we want to get him back to where he was before he got hurt last year."

Wang has been told that the Yankees will try to make the situation as normal as possible, never bringing him in mid-inning and giving him his usual time to warm up, but the uncertain schedule of relief work has been odd. Eyi^N0

Girardi said that he finally had seven arms in his bullpen on Tuesday with Wang's availability and a roster move to replace eighth-inning man Brian Bruney, who is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday for another opinion on his aching right elbow. #(& ! ^X3

Adjusting to the new landscape, the Yankees plan to mix and match the seventh and eighth innings between Alfredo Aceves, Phil Coke and Jose Veras, with Aceves viewed as more of a distance option. *A C){M

New York recalled right-hander David Robertson from Triple-A on Tuesday to replace Bruney on the roster, but Girardi said that he would probably not use Robertson in the late innings right away. s\ft:a@

洋基隊總教練吉拉迪告知王建民，目前沒有計畫將他調回先發，確定讓他先留在牛棚，對於吉拉迪的安排，建仔感到非常失望，建仔表示，他知道擔任先發時每天要做的事，但他不知道如果每天擔任救援工作必須要做的事。 4mR{\

建仔表示，吉拉迪是昨天告知關於球隊安排他擔任長中繼，而且沒有計畫時間表，何時再排他進先發輪值；建仔難以接受這個安排；從先發調整為中繼，建仔感到困難和失望，建仔在3A的復健賽投了13局無失分，建仔強調：「我是先發投手而且會投得很好，我要等待一場先發機會」。 x

洋基隊調建仔暫時轉往牛棚工作，也有配套措施，準備安排建仔上場時盡量做到常態，讓建仔先有心理準備，以及不會在每局比賽進行中直接調他上場，所以建仔上場必定是新的一局開始，同時必定給他很正常的熱身時間，不會臨時叫他準備，只有簡單熱身就很快上場投球。 )X-

由於布魯尼再接受檢查，每天第七和第八局的佈局投球由阿瑟佛斯、寇克、維拉斯輪流接防，其中阿瑟佛斯將會分擔更多，不過建仔並沒有安排擔任佈局投手，他上場局數將會在較前面局數，並且明確告知下一場出賽時間，雖是長中繼，卻等於不在先發輪值的形同先發安排。 SK f9

吉拉迪表示，知道建仔必定對此安排很失望，原本計畫建仔去3A再先發一場復健賽後，如果一切沒有問題，應會讓他回到先發輪值，但任誰也沒想到張伯倫意外被球擊中，球隊無法確定後面狀況，只有臨時將建仔留下，並且先留在牛棚。 l/9V 59Fv9
