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 agent, Alan Chang, told Ken Davidoff of the New York Post that he is talking to a number of teams and hasn't made a decision about where to sign.

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

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.

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.

The Nationals confirmed Chien-Ming Wang will make another start this season. Manager Davey Johnson didn't speculate when, but it's possible he could pitch Friday against the Cardinals. Wang will ultimately return to the bullpen and likely isn't a candidate for the postseason roster.

Chien-Ming Wang will start for the Nationals on Sunday against the Brewers. Wang has pitched in just eight games -- four starts -- in 2012 due to hip and hamstring injuries. He has posted a 6.92 ERA while allowing 39 hits over 26 innings of work. Due to a Tuesday doubleheader, manager Davey Johnson needed someone to make a spot start.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said it's "conceivable" that Chien-Ming Wang could get a start or two later this month. John Lannan will take Stephen Strasburg's spot in the rotation after the latter is shut down, but the Nats could choose to give other starters extra rest after they clinch a playoff spot. Wang holds a 7.61 ERA and 2.15 WHIP over 23 2/3 innings for Washington this year.

Chien-Ming Wang has been pulled off his minor league rehab assignment with more hip soreness. Wang has been sidelined since July 3 with a strained right hip and hasn't looked very sharp in the handful of minor league rehab starts that he's made. It's not clear when he might return to the major leagues.

Chien-Ming Wang (hip) allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings Thursday in his latest rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg. Wang allowed seven hits and a walk while striking out two. It's not clear when he'll be activated from the disabled list, but he has about 10 days left in his 30-day rehab window. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since July 3 with a strained right hip.
