RHP Chien-Ming Wang has yet to make an appearance in a game this season since being reinstated following recovery from a hamstring injury suffered in spring training. Manager Davey Johnson said they will use Wang out of the bullpen.
Johnson had Wang warm up during Tuesday's game in Philadelphia series, but he did not pitch. Wang has made only five appearances in relief in his career.

Wang (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.
Recommendation: Ryan Mattheus was placed and the 15-day DL, and Wang will likely take his spot in the bullpen. He's only pitched out of the pen five times in his career, but there currently isn't room in the starting rotation for Wang. If Ross Detwiler, who has lost his last two decisions, continues to struggle, Wang might get a chance to start before long.

Wang says he's willing to pitch in relief - as unlikely as it seems the team would ask him to - when he joins the Washington Nationals after what should be one more start in the minors.
Advice: Wang missed the start of the season after hurting his left hamstring during a spring training appearance March 15. He was in Washington on Wednesday to throw a bullpen session in front of coaches but will return to Triple-A Syracuse.
