Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Throws side session

Miller (finger) threw a side session Wednesday and is slated to pitch in an extended spring training game over the weekend, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Miller continues to work back from a sprained finger on his throwing hand, but he looks to already be making significant progress after hitting the DL late last week. Assuming the weekend outing goes well, Miller could embark on a brief rehab stint before returning to the Diamondbacks sometime in the next 10-to-15 days.
