Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Likely to go on DL Friday

Miller (finger) will likely go on the disabled list Friday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

There was some talk about Miller missing his next start after manager Chip Hale made it seem as if the right-hander's finger injury from mid-April is still affecting him, but it seems that the issue is even worse than that. It's unclear if it's been hampering his recent starts, possibly explaining the rough 1-6 start to the season he's gotten off to, but that should become clearer once more light is shed on the issue. If he does head to the DL, the Diamondbacks will have a hole to fill in their starting rotation, which could be filled by either a minor leaguer or by Josh Collmenter (shoulder) if he's able to come off the DL.
