Devastating news from Yankees.com:
RHP Chien-Ming Wang was examined today at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia Medical Center by Yankees Team Physician, Dr. Stuart Hershon and Dr. Jason Greisberg, Foot and Ankle Specialist.
Imaging studies revealed a mid-foot sprain of the Lisfranc ligament of the right foot and a partial tear of the peroneal longus tendon of the right foot.
Wang will be on crutches and wear a protective boot for a minimum of six weeks.

Tyler Kepner reports that the Yanks have confirmed that a makeup game will NOT be played this weekend or the off-day on Monday.
Sounds like the plan is to have a two stadium day-night double header when these teams clash again next month (June 27 - 29).
The best news to come out of this is that the Yankee offense will be without A-Rod for two more games instead of three. He is slated to return on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Pete Abe notes the Yanks have now reshuffled the rotation as a result of the rainout:
Saturday: Johan Santana vs. Andy Pettitte
Sunday: Oliver Perez vs. Chien-Ming Wang
Monday: OFF
Tuesday: Mike Mussina (vs. Orioles)
Wednesday: Darrell Rasner (vs. Orioles)
Thursday: Ian Kennedy (vs. Orioles)
