| News: According to his agent, Wang (shoulder) began a throwing program on December 1 and his progressing so well from his injury that he could be ready by May 1 or earlier, the New York Daily News reports. |
| Analysis: Wang's agent, Alan Nero, even said Wang might be ready by Opening Day, but that seems like a stretch considering Wang underwent surgery in late July. Either way, this faster-than-expected recovery could prompt the Yankees to give stronger consideration to keeping Wang, who was widely expected to become a free agent this offseason. The deadline to tender him a contract is Saturday. |
