Skip Wang's next start?

Chien-Ming Wang has stunk up the joint in all three of his starts this year and as a result, the Yankees might skip his next turn in the rotation. Wang's next start is supposed to be against the Red Sox in Fenway.

The soft-spoken 29-year-old from Taiwan said he has compared video of his performances from this season to last year, when was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA in 15 starts before injuring his right foot June 15, and doesn't see a difference.

"Everything is the same as last season," Wang said. "Nothing's wrong. Just keep working."

But Girardi also watched video with his staff and thinks there are several things Wang can work on.

"We looked at his hands, height of his leg kick, where his head is -- if it's out of line -- the angle of his arm. We looked at everything." Girardi said. "We had some healthy stuff that we saw. We understand that we need to make some adjustments."
