MIAMI - Imagine how good the NL West-leading Diamondbacks would be if they had a healthy starting rotation.
Just when it appeared that the injury-wracked Diamondbacks’ pitching staff was on the mend with the long-awaited season debut of right-hander Shelby Miller here Monday night and the unexpected return of southpaw Robbie Ray this week, Arizona placed Clay Buchholz on the 10-day disabled list with an oblique strain of his left side.
The bad news was offset by manager Torey Lovullo’s pregame announcement that Ray would forgo his final rehab start for Triple-A Reno and start Wednesday against the Marlins.
