It may not be Miller time in the desert for much longer.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly made struggling right-hander Shelby Miller available in trade talks, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

It's unclear who might be interested in Miller or what Arizona could get in return.

Miller was one of many splashy acquisitions made by Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart over the winter, coming in a trade from Atlanta for former No. 1 overall pick Dansby Swanson, among others. He's struggled in Arizona, owning a career-worst 7.14 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 14 starts this season, while also missing time with a finger injury. The 25-year-old's struggles prompted the Diamondbacks to send him to Triple-A earlier this month, where he's made one start for the Reno Aces.

The Diamondbacks' winter spending spree has not translated into wins this year, as they sit last in the NL West entering Sunday's play. Stewart has already dealt reliever Brad Ziegler to the Boston Red Sox earlier this month, and the team is expected to continue to sell as the Aug. 1 deadline approaches.
