Wang throws five innings
New York Yankees right-hander Chien-Ming Wang didn't allow a hit over five scoreless innings in an extended spring training game at Tampa, Fla., on Saturday.
It was Wang's first outing since he hurt his right hamstring while running on March 23. The 19-game winner last season is scheduled to pitch in another minor league game Thursday likely with Class-A Tampa and might rejoin the Yankees rotation for a start on April 24 at Tampa Bay.
Pitching against Tampa Bay minor leaguers, Wang struck out six and walked one. He threw 35 of 55 pitches for strikes.
