Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris will have surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his thyroid in the near future, the Tigers' official site reports.
Norris shared the diagnosis and the treatment plan on social media Monday, but he has known that he was going to have the procedure since first receiving the news from doctors in May.
Norris fared well after he was sent to Detroit as part of the deal that placed David Price in Toronto, carrying a 27:7 K:BB over 36 2/3 innings (eight starts) with the Tigers. It's expected that Norris will make a full recovery from surgery and be ready for the start of spring training.
