It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Despite going in opposite directions this year, the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels share one thing in common: injuries that wreak havoc with both teams rotations.Four of the Angels projected starters from spring training are out for the season. Two, Andrew Heaney and Nick Tropeano, have undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss all of next year. A third, C.J. Wilson, has not pitched since July 2015 because of elbow and shoulder surgery. As a result, Los Angeles had to fill the rotation with reclamation projects, and is heading for its worst season in Mike Scioscias 17-year tenure as manager.The Mariners face a similar problem as they prepare to meet the Angels on Wednesday night in the third installment of their four-game series.Left-hander James Paxton, scratched from his start Tuesday night, went on the disabled list with a bruised left elbow. Paxton was hit in the elbow by a line drive in his last start Aug. 7. With right-hander Nathan Karns also on the disabled list because of a strained lower back and right-hander Taijuan Walker pitching at Triple-A Tacoma after fighting tendinitis in his right foot all season, manager Scott Servais must scramble for replacements.Its challenging, Servais told the Seattle Times. Teams have done it before. You are trying to plug guys in there to keep you in games and suck up innings. Fortunately for us, our bullpen has been very good lately. So if we can get to those guys in the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth inning, we are in pretty good shape.Right-hander Cody Martin, recalled Tuesday from Tacoma, will staart Wednesday night after left-hander Ariel Miranda made his second start of the season Tuesday night as Paxtons replacement.dddddddddddd Martin will the 13th starting pitcher that the Mariners have used this year.Meanwhile, left-hander Tyler Skaggs seeks to recover from his worst start in more than two years when he takes the mound for the Angels. Skaggs gave up seven runs and 10 hits in five innings Friday night during the Cleveland Indians 13-3 rout, which included seven stolen bases while Skaggs was on the mound and eight for the game.On May 4, 2014, Skaggs allowed six runs and eight hits in just 2 2/3 innings of a 14-3 loss to the Texas Rangers.After Friday nights game, Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez told reporters through a translator that his teammates could use Skaggs delivery to decipher his pickoff move easily. When a reporter asked outfielder Rajai Davis whether Skaggs was tipping his move, Davis winked. Davis and Ramirez each had three steals.Hopefully, this will be a bump in the road 10 years from now, when hes hopefully still pitching, Angels manager Mike Scioscia told the Los Angeles Times. Tylers stuff is there. Hes competing well and his confidence has grown.That start was Skaggs fourth since returning from Tommy John surgery, which caused him to miss a season and a half. The left-hander had compiled a streak of 18 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings between his final start of 2014 and his Aug. 6 appearance against the Mariners. ' ' '
