Nationals right-hander Chien-Ming Wang more than likely made his last rehab start on Sunday afternoon. He lasted five innings for Triple-A Syracuse and allowed four runs on eight hits against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Wang threw 96 pitches, with 63 for strikes.
If his arm feels OK on Monday, Wang more than likely will be taken off the disabled list and is tentatively scheduled to pitch against the Mets on Friday at Nationals Park. It would be Wang's first big league appearance since 2009, when he was with the Yankees.
Wang has missed two seasons because of shoulder problems. He has been with the Nationals since last season, and has yet to pitch in a big league game.
