Norris (back) has been diagnosed with "non-displaced fractures in his spinous process" and will not pitch for at least five days, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
According to Fenech, manager Brad Ausmus said Norris' condition sounds more serious than it actually is, but it will still keep him on the shelf for a minimum of five days. Norris' back issues flared up last weekend when he was scratched from a scheduled start, and then he proceeded to get shelled in one-third of an inning in his next outing Tuesday. He walked off the field with trainers in that outing, at which point it was announced that he suffered a setback with his back injury. Five days may be an optimistic timetable for Norris, but more information on his status figures to be made available as the week progresses.
