Norris (groin) was activated from the disabled list ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Yankees.
As expected, Norris will return to the Tigers' starting rotation after spending the past four months on the shelf with a groin injury. The southpaw made five appearances -- including two starts -- with the big club before the injury, compiling a 5.87 ERA and 18:9 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Norris faces a tough Yankees lineup in his first game back.
