Last Meeting ( Apr 11, 2014 ) LA Dodgers 6, Arizona 0

Wade Miley looks to stabilize the Arizona Diamondbacks starting rotation Saturday when he faces the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Miley has been the lone bright spot in the rotation, which will get a new look Monday when Josh Collmenter moves from the bullpen to replace struggling Randall Delgado. The Diamondbacks fell to a disappointing 4-9 on Friday when Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in five runs and Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed seven shutout innings in the Dodgers’ 6-0 win.

Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig returned to the starting lineup Friday for the first time in three games after dealing with a sprained left thumb and doubled and scored two runs. Matt Kemp was rested Friday after going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts in his last two games, and he appears headed for a time-share in center field with Andre Ethier, who is batting .222 with one home run. Shortstop Dee Gordon may sit against the left-handed Miley, but the speedster has made a strong impression while batting .405 with five steals.
