Wang to See Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday

According to Peter Abraham, Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang has a visit with Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday to check out his injured right shoulder. Andrews will have the final say on whether Wang will need season-ending surgery or not.

Here's some more from Pete:

When he got the second MRI on Tuesday, it revealed a possible rotator-cuff tear. The question is whether it’s a new injury or scar tissue from the operation he had back in 2000.

Because Dr. James Andrews did that surgery, he will examine Wang on Tuesday and figure it all out. If Wang does have a new tear, he’ll be out the rest of this season and part of 2010. Wang, as you might expect, is nervous about what Andrews might find.

If Wang does need surgery, the Yankees could non-tender him in December rather than have him rehab on their dime.

Abraham also said that if Wang does need the surgery the Yankees could non-tender him later in the year.

It's safe to say that this is a pretty big week for Wang, hopefully he gets some good news.
