Norris will move to the bullpen for the rest of the season, although the Tigers still view him as a starter long term, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The Tigers are going to turn to youngsters Artie Lewicki and Chad Bell out of the No. 5 and No. 6 starter spots, although if one of them flops, they could move to a five-man rotation. It's not hard to see why the Tigers want to switch something up in an effort to get Norris right. He has a 5.29 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 79:39 K:BB in 85 innings this season. He could be nasty as a multi-inning reliever, but should still compete for a rotation spot in spring training next year.
