Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said that Sunday's start for pitcher Wade Miley will go a long way to determining whether or not the pitcher begins the year in the rotation or is skipped the first time through, the Arizona Republic reports.
Miley was delayed early in the spring due to a dead arm, but should begin the year in the rotation if he is able to reach at least 60 pitches and looks good Sunday. If he does not perform well, it is likely he could begin the year on the DL and get a start in the minors or at extended spring training before joining the big club.
