Fox Sports writer Cash Kruth reported the news Wednesday afternoon.
Apparently, Wang injured himself on Tuesday night. That’s even more bad news from Tuesday’s 10-inning defeat to the New York Yankees. Kansas City Royals centerfielder Lorenzo Cain also admitted after the game that he’s been playing through a wrist injury the last two weeks.
While 36-year-old Chien-Ming Wang has hardly been dominant with a 4.22 ERA in 53.1 innings for the KC Royals in 2016, he has been a useful bullpen innings eater. Royals manager Ned Yost typically deployed Wang when KC is trailing.
