Norris, who is fully recovered from offseason cancer surgery, appears to be the front-runner for the Tigers' fifth rotation spot, reports the Detroit Free Press.
Norris is a talented and mature young pitcher with a high ceiling and outstanding character. He has already thrown a few bullpen sessions in Lakeland and is gearing up to take the next step in his career. Norris is feeling confident with his offseason work and his health, and he should improve on his 3.75 ERA (13 starts between Toronto and Detroit).
