According to Fox.com , Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang will miss at least six weeks after injuring his right foot while running the bases in Houston on Sunday. An examination Monday showed Wang partially tore a tendon and sprained his foot. He will be on crutches and wear a protective boot for the next six weeks. Damn interleague play! [link]
