Yankees Place Wang On DL, Recall Albaladejo

POSTED: 9:53 am PDT July 5, 2009

(Sports Network) - New York Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain, the club announced on Sunday.

The right-hander left Saturday's 6-5, 12-inning victory against the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth. He did not factor in the decision after allowing six hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings. He is 1-6 with a 9.64 earned run average this season.

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

It's the second stint on the DL this season for the 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 starter for Thursday, Wang's next turn in the starting rotation.

To fill out the roster, the Yankees recalled right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has a 2-1 record with a 6.00 ERA in 18 relief appearances for New York this season.
