Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP Chien-Ming Wang from Triple-A Buffalo.

Wang opted out of his contract with the Yankees last Friday and quickly latched on with the Blue Jays. The 33-year-old right-hander will make the start Tuesday night against the White Sox, but he shouldn't be an option in most fantasy leagues.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Blue Jays signed RHP Chien-Ming Wang to a minor league contract.

Wang opted out of his deal with the Yankees on Friday to sign with Toronto and will join the Blue Jays' rotation on Tuesday for a start against the White Sox. The Jays aren't making him any guarantees beyond that one outing and he is not to be trusted in standard fantasy formats.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Yankees released RHP Chien-Ming Wang.

Wang has elected to opt out of his minor league deal and will sign on with the Blue Jays to start on Tuesday. The sinkerballer has posted a 2.33 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over nine starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he was bad for the Nationals last season and is doubtful to be a productive fantasy option.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that Chien-Ming Wang isn't planning on opting out of his minor league deal with the Yankees at this time.

Wang has the option to opt out on May 31, June 30, and August 10 and 31 if he so chooses, but so far none of the reportedly six teams interested in him is offering a major league deal. That could always change, but for now it looks like he'll remain at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It was reportedly previously that the Orioles were one of the clubs interested in the sinkerballer.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

The Orioles are one of several teams keeping tabs on Chien-Ming Wang.

Wang is able to opt out of his contract with the Yankees Friday. He might do so, given that he doesn't appear to be poised for a call-up despite a 2.65 ERA over eight Triple-A starts. The O's would have competition for the right-hander's services.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Chien-Ming Wang has opted to stay with the Yankees following the first opt-out date in his minor league contract.

Wang's agent, Alan Chang, confirmed the news to Focus Taiwan. Wang has compiled a 0.95 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio in 19 innings over three starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and reportedly showed improved velocity in his most recent outing. While he'll stick around as rotation depth for now, his contract has future opt-out dates of May 31, June 30, and August 10 and 31.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Yankees signed RHP Chien-Ming Wang to a minor league contract.

The deal was first reported by CBS Sports' Jon Heyman on Friday and is now official. Wang returns to the Yankees after spending parts of the last two seasons with the Nationals. The 32-year-old right-hander will open this year at the Triple-A level, but could make his way into the big league rotation at some point in 2013.

Mar 23 - 12:21 PM

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Yankees have agreed to terms with free agent Chien-Ming Wang.

Wang returns to the place he began his MLB career (and posted a 55-26 record over five seasons). It's likely to be a minor league deal, but there's an opportunity for the 32-year-old right-hander to make his way into the rotation at some point in the 2013 season if he pitches well at Triple-A.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Chien-Ming Wang will throw for scouts Wednesday at the Yankees' minor league complex.

Contrary to an earlier report, the Yankees haven't signed Wang, but they simply want to see if he is a viable option. Wang's agent, Alan Chang, told Ken Davidoff of the New York Post on Wednesday that his client has been in touch with multiple teams. The 32-year-old right-hander had a 6.68 ERA and 15/15 K/BB ratio over 32 1/3 innings with the Nationals last season and will likely have to settle for a minor league deal.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Chien-Ming Wang's agent, Alan Chang, told Ken Davidoff of the New York Post that his client is in talks with a number of teams and hasn't made a decision about where to sign.

Josh Norris of the Trentonian passed along word Wednesday morning that it appeared Wang was returning to the Yankees, but it's not a done deal yet. Chang confirmed that the Yankees are among the teams he has spoken with, but there's no timetable on a decision.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Josh Norris of the Trentonian hears that Chien-Ming Wang has reached an agreement to return to the Yankees.

The news hasn't been confirmed by the team, but the Yankees reportedly had scouts in attendance for Wang's recent start during the World Baseball Classic. Wang, who pitched with the Yankees from 2005-2009, had a 6.68 ERA and 15/15 K/BB ratio over 32 1/3 innings with the Nationals last season. It would almost certainly be a minor league deal.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

The Yankees were among the teams in attendance Friday for Chien-Ming Wang's start against Australia in the World Baseball Classic.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the Yankees could be in the market for rotation depth with Phil Hughes (back) a question mark for the start of the season. Wang allowed four hits, walked none and struck out two over six scoreless innings in the win. He's hoping to land a minor league deal by auditioning for teams at the WBC.

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Free agent Chien-Ming Wang pitched six scoreless innings Friday as Chinese Taipei beat Australia 4-1 to kick off the World Baseball Classic.

Auditioning for a major league job, Wang allowed four hits, walked none and struck out two. Thanks to three double plays, he managed to get through six innings without exceeding the first-round, 65-pitch limit. Wang's velocity wasn't particularly good tonight; the stadium gun showed him at 82-83 mph, though it was almost surely slow. Wang averaged 91 mph with his fastball with the Nationals last season.

Mar 2 - 2:32 AM

Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

George A. King III of the New York Post reports that the Yankees will have scouts watching Chien-Ming Wang when he pitches for Taiwan during the World Baseball Classic.

General manager Brian Cashman said he hasn’t been in contact with Wang’s representatives, but it sounds like the club is at least considering adding the right-hander for depth purposes. Wang, of course, spent the first five seasons of his career in pinstripes, winning 19 games for the Bombers in back-to-back seasons. He's posted a 4.94 ERA over just 94 2/3 frames since 2010 while being plagued by shoulder issues.

SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Jose Reyes (ankle) went 2-for-3 with two singles and two runs scored Monday in his first rehab games with High-A Dunedin. Reyes, who was playing his first game since his severe ankle sprain on April 12, also played five innings at shortstop. Barring any setbacks, the speedy shortstop could rejoin the suddenly red-hot Blue Jays within the next 10 days. Jun 18

3B	1	Brett Lawrie D.L. Brett Lawrie no longer has a walked boot on his left foot and has started throwing and riding a stationary bike. Lawrie still needs to gain strength in his ailing left ankle, and there remains no timetable for his return. Still, it's a sign of at least a bit of progress for the 23-year-old. He hurt the ankle on a slid back on May 27. Jun 14

	3	Brandon Morrow D.L. Brandon Morrow (forearm) suffered a physical setback Monday in his rehab start at High-A Dunedin. Morrow will have his forearm reexamined this week. He did not look sharp in the outing, allowing three runs in two innings, and can now be considered out indefinitely. Jun 18
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. J.A. Happ (head) threw a bullpen session Tuesday. Another step in the right direction for the left-handed starter, who suffered a sprained right knee when he collapsed on the mound after being in the head by a line drive last month. He should be ready to return to live major league games in early-to-mid July. Jun 18
	6	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) is scheduled to pitch two innings of an intrasquad game early next week. Good news for Drabek, who underwent Tommy John surgery last June. The 25-year-old figures to require a lengthy rehab assignment, but he should make an impact with the big club at some point during the second half of the season. Jun 14
	7	Drew Hutchison D.L. Drew Hutchison (elbow) will throw a simulated game Tuesday. It's the next step in his rehab process from Tommy John surgery. Hutchison figures to throw a few simulated games before going out on a minor league rehab assignment, but he's getting closer. The 22-year-old is unlikely to be an option for the Jays until well into the second half. Jun 14

Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Sergio Santos (elbow) threw long-toss Friday. Santos is currently making his way back from surgery last month to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. He's expected to throw a side session next week, but he won't be an option for Toronto's bullpen until after the All-Star break. Jun 14
	3	Darren Oliver
	4	Steve Delabar
	5	Esmil Rogers
	6	Aaron Loup
	7	Brett Cecil
	8	Dustin McGowan
	9	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez has shut down his rehab due to lingering issues with his surgically-repaired elbow. Perez underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last July. He might not pitch in the majors in 2013. Jun 18
	10	Neil Wagner
	11	Juan Perez
	12	Ramon Ortiz D.L. An MRI on Ramon Ortiz's right elbow did not reveal a tear. It's a surprise, given Ortiz's reaction after suffering the injury Sunday. He'll be re-evaluated after the swelling subsides, but it sounds like his career isn't over just yet. Jun 4
