    With the promise of bigger moves to come, the Boston Red Sox took the first step toward improving their 2015 rotation by acquiring left-hander Wade Miley from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitchers Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster and a minor-leaguer yet to be identified, according to a major-league source.

    Miley probably slots as a No. 3 starter between right-handers Clay Buchholz and Joe Kelly. The 28-year-old native of Hammond, Louisiana, has pitched no fewer than 194 2/3 innings since being installed in Arizona's rotation in 2012, eclipsing 200 innings in each of the last two seasons. Earlier in the day, Red Sox manager John Farrell said the team was placing a premium on acquiring durable starters capable of throwing 200 innings in the season.
