Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Returns to action Friday

Miller will start Friday's split-squad game against the Mariners, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Friday's start will mark Miller's first Cactus League appearance since March 6, when he was rocked for six runs on five hits and two walks in just 2.2 innings. There was never any mention of an injury. Miller's first year with the Diamondbacks was a disaster but he's still right there in the mix for a spot in the starting rotation -- the Diamondbacks have two spots open to fill between Miller, Patrick Corbin and Archie Bradley.
