Shelby Miller update
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team still is awaiting word on medical reports regarding starting pitcher Shelby Miller and the right-hander’s injured right arm.
MRI exams have been forwarded to a third surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, and it wasn’t clear on Wednesday afternoon whether Andrews has had a chance to review them, Lovullo said.
“It’s not necessarily a third opinion,” Lovullo said before Wednesday’s game against the Padres. “It’s part of the plan that we had talked about all along where we were going to have this group look at it and come together and get as much information as we possibly could, and pass it along to Shelby and figure out what the best game plan is.
“So unfortunately, there’s not really an update. There was a logistical issue in getting some of the information down to Dr. Andrews and he’s going to look at it as soon as he possibly can to give his input.”
Miller left his Sunday start against the Dodgers in the fifth inning after complaining of forearm tightness. That is usually an indication of elbow issues and the fear, of course, is that he may ultimately require Tommy John surgery.
Asked if no news was good news, Lovullo said: “Well, that’s an old adage, right? I’ve heard that my whole life. In this case, we haven’t got the news from Dr. Andrews and maybe it’s good news, but we’re going to try to get as much input as we possibly can from three very, very qualified doctors – some of the best in the country – to weigh in and give us their opinion.”

Waiting for his turn
Right-hander Zack Godley, who is starting for the Diamondbacks tonight against the Padres, looked incredibly comfortable and relaxed upon reporting to work today.
He spent the past hour reclining in his locker with his feet up in street clothes before changing and later, going over the scouting report with tonight’s starting catcher, Jeff Mathis.
Godley, filling in for Shelby Miller, was 1-1 with a 2.55 ERA in three appearances (one start) with Triple-A Reno. He was named the Pacific Coast League’s Pitcher of the Week on Monday after tossing seven scoreless innings against Albuquerque, which included starting the game with six hitless frames.
