CHIEN-MING WANG TO START YANKEE EXHIBITION OPENER V TWINS--NY Times

"JOHNNY DAMON returned to camp after a two-day absence for personal reasons. Damon would not disclose why he left. “I feel a lot better than a couple of days ago,” Damon said. “Something was worrying me, and I took care of it.” ... CHIEN-MING WANG will start Thursday’s exhibition opener against Minnesota, JOE TORRE said, with ANDY PETTITTE, MIKE MUSSINA, CARL PAVANO and KEI IGAWA going the next four days. ... Magnetic resonance imaging tests on pitchers HUMBERTO SáNCHEZ (right elbow inflammation) and BRIAN BRUNEY (left side muscle strain) showed no tears, Brian Cashman said. Each will rest for a few days."

• From NY Times article by Pat Borzi, 2/27/07, "Yankees Need an Outfielder but it Won't Be Williams," This portion was at the bottom under "Inside Pitch." The parts about Bernie were too depressing. (The Times asks for cookies).
