The Yankee's ace pitcher, Chien Ming-Wang, sprained his ankle in Sundays blowout against Houston. After a medical examination on Monday, a team spokesman said Wang will be out a minimum of six weeks.  Some sports analysts familiar with his injury said they believe Sunday was his last game of this season.

Having won 19-games last year, Wang was on his way to another stellar season, having already earned an 8-2 record at the time of his injury.  He clearly was the anchor to the struggling Yankee bullpen.

With Wang's injury, he now joins other injured Yankee pitchers Pavano, Hughes and Kennedy on the injured reserve list.
