Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Will stick in the rotation

Miller is not in danger of having his next start skipped or being removed from the rotation, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

The Diamondbacks paid a hefty price in the offseason to acquire Miller, sending 2015 No. 1 pick Dansby Swanson to the Braves, along with outfielder Ender Inciarte and pitching prospect Aaron Blair. But Miller has struggled mightily through six starts, posting a 8.49 ERA with 19 walks in 23.1 innings. Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said he thinks Miller might be putting pressure on himself to live up to expectations after the trade, but added there's been no thought of removing the righty from the rotation. His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Braves.
