Nats encouraged by Wang's first rehab outing

MIAMI -- After a trip home to Taiwan during the All-Star break, Nationals
pitcher Chien-Ming Wang made his first rehab appearance Friday night for
Double-A Harrisburg.

Wang, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 3 with a right hip
strain, started and pitched four innings for the Senators in the first game
of a doubleheader against the Richmond Flying Squirrels. The righty gave up
three runs (two earned) on seven hits, facing 19 batters before being pulled
in the fifth en route to a loss in a 4-0 affair.

Despite the result, Wang displayed good command as he struck out three and
didn't surrender a walk. He threw 54 pitches, with 42 finding the strike zone.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson was pleased by the reports he got following
Wang's start.

"He threw the ball pretty good," Johnson said. "He didn't have a very good
defense behind him. They missed a few balls, but other than that, we were
encouraged as a first outing."

Wang struggled with a 2-3 record and a 7.61 ERA in seven outings, including
four starts, with the Nationals this season. Johnson said the plan is to have
Wang throw 65-70 pitches during his next rehab appearance and get the
right-hander into a regular rotation in the Minors for the time being.
