Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin is in no hurry to rush Randy Johnson back to the big leagues, especially after the Big Unit struggled through a rehab start. Johnson went four innings and allowed five runs and eight hits in his first start with the Triple-A Tucson Sidewinders on Thursday. The 44-year-old lefty is trying to come back from his second back operation in less than a year.
