ESPN - Yankees' Manager Joe Girardi has ruled out the possibilty that Chien-Ming Wang could return to the team's lineup in September, according to ESPN.com.

Wang was injured running the bases in Houston on June 15, and got the cast off his right foot on Tuesday. He is expected to be on crutches with a boot protecting his leg for another week before being re-evaluated.

"The chances of getting him back on September 1st is zero," Girardi said. "October 1st is possible."
