Shelby Miller could rejoin Diamondbacks soon

Shelby Miller looked dominant against lower-level, minor-league hitters on Thursday night. But was one good start down on the farm good enough for the Diamondbacks to be convinced he’s ready to rejoin their starting rotation?

A decision is likely coming sometime on Saturday as to whether the right-hander needs to make at least one more appearance in his minor-league rehab assignment or if he will slide back into the rotation, which likely would be Tuesday at home against the Dodgers.

“We have to decide sooner than later because he has to throw a side (session),” manager Chip Hale said Friday.
