RHP Shelby Miller underwent Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday, performed by noted specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe clinic. He is the team physician for the Dodgers and Los Angeles Rams. "Everything went fantastic," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo. "It's a tough day for us. One of our family members is in surgery, and he's going to be gone for a little while -- 15 months he will be away from us."

RHP Shelby Miller of the Arizona Diamondbacks will undergo Tommy John surgery after mulling his options. Miller, who had a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, told reporters Saturday that he will have the season-ending procedure that is expected to sideline him for 12 to 18 months. Miller's MRI exam results were review by three doctors this week after he experienced tightness in the elbow during last Sunday's start against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The consensus from the doctors is that the ligament isn't fully torn but Miller also has a flexor strain in the elbow. Miller was 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in four starts with Arizona. He did not allow more than three runs in either of those starts.

RHP Shelby Miller (elbow inflammation) said Saturday he will undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future after receiving three opinions, the last two from specialists Dr. Neal ElAttrach and Dr. James Andrews. "I think this is a smart decision to make," Miller said. He as removed from Sunday's start with forearm tightness in the fifth inning. He was 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in four starts. The Diamondbacks have not decided publicly who will replace Miller in the rotation, but they have some immediate wiggle room because of a travel day off Monday. Manager Torey Lovullo indicated the news starter would pitch in the Washington series May 2-4.

After mulling different treatment options, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Shelby Miller will undergo Tommy John surgery.Miller, who had a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, told reporters Saturday that he will have the season-ending procedure that is expected to sideline him for 12 to 18 months."It's the best decision I think we could make," Miller said.Miller's MRI exam results were review by three doctors this week after he experienced tightness in the elbow during last Sunday's start against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The consensus from the doctors is that the ligament isn't fully torn but Miller also has a flexor strain in the elbow.The 26-year-old Miller was hoping to avoid surgery and was considering alternatives, such as plasma-rich platelet injections or stem cell treatment, which promote healing. Even that course of treatment would likely have kept him out for the remainder of the 2017 season."That's the thing, you don't want it to not work out and end up missing a lot more time," Miller said Thursday. "The biggest thing is I want to be back on the field. There's no doubt about that. I want to do that as soon as possible. But to be able to do that, is that the smartest thing to do? That's what we're looking into."Miller was 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in four starts with Arizona. He did not allow more than three runs in either of those starts.

RHP Shelby Miller has a flexor strain and a partial UCL tear in this right (pitching) elbow. The right-hander and the D-backs will have to decide in coming days whether he will undergo season-ending surgery or will try to rehab."We're going to find a way to get through this," manager Torey Lovullo said. "Shelby is the ultimate team player. Weighing on his decision is what he can do to help this team as quickly as possible. There's a lot to think about. There are a lot of details being thrown around quickly Taking time to sort through this is of the utmost importance."Miller was transferred from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

RHP Shelby Miller (elbow inflammation) had his MRIs sent to elbow specialist Dr. James Andrews and is awaiting an opinion on his to proceed. Asked if doctors have identified a tear, Miller said: "They see something in there. They haven't given me specifics yet. Exactly what it is or how we are going to handle it or what we are going to do to fix it. Just waiting to see everybody's opinion, having the best doctors in the country look at it." Miller, 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA, saw specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Monday.

RHP Shelby Miller (elbow inflammation) received a second opinion from specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Tuesday. "We're still gathering information," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "We'll have pretty much a complete thought tomorrow. We're all being very optimistic. We're going to tread some water for right now."

RHP Shelby Miller is scheduled to receive a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Tuesday after a MRI exam by team doctors on Monday revealed inflammation in his right elbow. Miller was removed from his Sunday start four batters into the fifth inning with right forearm soreness. Asked if surgery were a possibility, Miller said: "I guess there is some kind of chance, but I don't know too much right now. I'll know more tomorrow for sure." Miller is 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in four starts, and his fastball has been clocked as high as 96-97 mph.

RHP Shelby Miller was removed with right forearm tightness after facing three batters and throwing one pitch to a fourth batter in the fifth inning Sunday. Miller walked one before pitching coach Mike Butcher visited the mound, then gave up another walk and a two-run double to SS Corey Seager before throwing one ball to Justin Turner Miller gave up three runs on four hits and five walks in four-plus innings. "I felt it tighten up in the fifth a little bit," said Miller, who gave up three runs on four hits and five walks. "I kind of lost command. I felt that I couldn't throw my pitches where I wanted them. I just didn't have a good feel for it." He is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. Forearm tightness can be a precursor to an elbow injury.

RHP Shelby Miller will be seeking to win consecutive starts, something he failed to do last season, when he faces the San Francisco Giants in the finale of a three-game series Wednesday. Miller benefitted from a seven-run offensive attack in his season opener, allowing him to win despite the lack of a quality start (three runs in 5 1/3 innings). Miller is 2-4 with a 3.33 ERA in eight career starts against the Giants.

RHP Shelby Miller gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings in his first start of the season, his first victory at home in his two years with Arizona. Miller was 3-12 with a 6.25 ERA in 20 starts last season, 0-8 with a 7.39 ERA in 10 starts at Chase Field. "I didn't pitch good at home last year at all. We didn't win either at all," Miller said. "Playing this well early is so fun, and hopefully we'll continue to do that. This win is huge. It means a lot to me." He struck out seven and hit 97 mph with his fastball.

RHP Shelby Miller is eagerly awaiting his first start, Friday night at home vs. the defending AL champion Indians. "I know he's anxious because he's the last starter," manager Torey Lovullo said. "He's had to wait patiently. During that time, he's been a tremendous teammate. I can see the excitement in his eyes. I know he has a lot to prove." Miller was one of baseball's biggest flops last year, going 3-12 with a 6.15 ERA.

RHP Shelby Miller was brought in to be the No. 2 starter, but he struggled so much that he was optioned to Triple-A Reno after the All-Star break to regain his bearings. Miller finished the season with 11 scoreless innings in his last two starts, so there's that. He wound up 3-12 with a 6.15 ERA in 20 starts. Miller gave up 127 hits in just 101 innings, and he walked 42 while striking out 70.

One day after finishing a season in which they went 69-93, the Arizona Diamondbacks fired general manager Dave Stewart and manager Chip Hale, the club announced Monday.Stewart has been the Diamondbacks GM since September of 2014, when Arizona's chief baseball officer Tony La Russa hired Stewart to replace Kevin Towers.Stewart named Hale as the manager a few weeks later, and the Diamondbacks showed progress in the first year, going from 64 wins in 2014 to 79 wins in 2015.There were high hopes for the 2016 season with the addition of free-agent pitcher Zack Greinke and the acquisition of 2015 All-Star pitcher Shelby Miller via trade.But the Diamondbacks were never in contention for a playoff spot. They lost center fielder A.J. Pollock to a fractured elbow in the last week of spring training and Miller had a poor season, going 3-12 with a 6.15 earned-run average.What is noteworthy is that La Russa was not fired. His role or title may change."We are very grateful to Dave and Chip who are widely respected throughout the game of baseball," said Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall in a statement. "Ultimately, the results have not been what we had hoped and while that responsibility is shared by all of us, we have decided that a change is necessary. We are still discussing what the appropriate role for Tony La Russa will be moving forward."

RHP Shelby Miller went five scoreless innings Wednesday in Washington to get his third win. The game was called with one out in the top of the sixth. "It's nice to finish strong," said Miller, who went six scoreless innings Friday in Baltimore. "I don't know if I'll pitch anymore this year. I felt good. All around I felt good."

RHP Shelby Miller, still looking for his first win since June 20, threw six scoreless innings and left with a 2-0 lead in Friday night's 3-2 loss to the Orioles. He allowed just three hits and three walks, while striking out three. It was Miller's first start of the season in which he didn't allow a run. "He did a nice job," manager Chip Hale said. "It's a real step forward for him. Mixed his pitches: cutter, changeup, curveball, fastball. Did a real nice job."

RHP Shelby Miller was perfect through three innings before giving up nine hits and six runs in his final two innings. He could not hold a 5-0 lead and did not get a decision in the Diamondbacks' 12-9 victory as his ERA climbed to 7.12. "I'm just glad we got the win," Miller said. "Obviously you don't want to go out there and give up runs when you have a lead, but our offense kept putting up runs." Miller, making his third start since returning from a six-week stay at Triple-A Reno, has given up 11 runs (10 earned) and 20 hits in his last two starts covering 10 1-3 innings.

RHP Shelby Miller (2-11) had another poor outing Tuesday against the Dodgers. He surrendered five runs (four earned) on 11 hits with two strikeouts and no walks in 4 1/3 innings. "I think they were pretty aggressive out of the first inning," Miller said after his shortest outing since May 1, when he lasted only 3 2/3 innings against the Rockies. "Obviously, I'm struggling with the loss a little bit. Just kind of tired of losing."

RHP Shelby Miller suffered a loss in his return from the minor leagues Wednesday, but the outing was considered a success nonetheless. Miller allowed two runs and six hits in six innings of a 4-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants. It lowered his ERA from 7.14 to 6.81. Miller had been demoted to Triple-A in July after a 2-9 start.
