ANAHEIM, Calif. • The expected shuffling of the rotation became the official shuffling of the rotation Tuesday afternoon.
Carlos Martinez, who was dogged by flu-like symptoms and a respiratory infection, will throw a bullpen session Wednesday at Angels Stadium. That puts him in line to start Saturday and not, as announced earlier in the day, Thursday against the Angels. Adam Wainwright will start Thursday on normal rest, and Michael Wacha will follow Friday in the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Martinez will go Saturday, and the road trip will end with the starter beginning it tonight, Mike Leake.
