Pregame concerns: Wang was scheduled to start yesterday's game but was eventually pushed back a day to give his injured calf more time to heal. He defeated the Mariners on May 2, pitching six innings and allowing one earned run. ... Washburn is 1-4 with a 2.78 ERA in five career starts at Yankee Stadium. ... Despite swinging the bat well, Hideki Matsui is getting the afternoon off. Against Washburn, he is 2-14 with one double, one home run and two RBI.
