Chien-Ming Wang made his scheduled start today at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reports John Parker at MLB.com.

While no one would mistake it for pitching against Major Leaguers, Wang did face the Columbus Clippers, who are leading the International League with an average of .285 and featured a lineup including Travis Hafner, Andy Marte and Tony Graffanino. He only threw 75 pitches and retired 12 batters on ground ball outs. He threw an additional 25 pitches in the bullpen after he had been removed.

Brian Bruney also saw action today, in the second game of a double header, pitching the first inning and allowing one run on two hits. His fastball reached 94 mph.

After wards, Brian Cashman spoke to Chad Jennings on both pitchers. On Wang:

“Performance-wise he was terrific," Cashman said. "This was a much better hitting club. Columbus is a much better offensive club than the team he was facing last time, but his stuff was better last time, to be honest, although he performed great in both outings. He didn’t have the slider that he had last time. His changeup was better today than last time. His fastball velocity was a little bit lower this time than it was last time. At the same time, he handled the lineup and got a lot of groundballs. Facing guys like Hafner kind of tells you a little something you want to know. I think he had some groundouts and that broken-bat single to center. I know Hafner is on a rehab assignment and he’s a guy who can really do some damage if you’re making mistakes, not making some pitches, and (Wang) made his pitches. That tells you a lot.”

On Bruney:

“He looked healthy, which is the biggest thing for him," Cashman said. "Unlike Wang, he’s coming off of an elbow injury, so you want to see health. And I saw health."

It is unclear what the next step will be for both players, but it's thought that Bruney could be back on Tuesday and that Wang's next start on May 17 could be in the Majors.
