Guardians' Daniel Norris: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Norris was designated for assignment Tuesday.
Norris' most recent stay in the big leagues lasted just one day after he was tagged for four runs on four hits and a walk over two innings versus the Twins on Monday. This is the second time Norris has been DFA'd by Cleveland this month -- he elected free agency after the first time before re-signing on a minor-league deal. Hunter Gaddis was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
The Guardians selected Norris' contract from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
He'll be joining the Guardians as a replacement on the 40-man and 26-man active rosters for right-hander Noah Syndergaard, who was designated for assignment following Sunday's 10-7 win over the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old lefty reliever is set to begin his third stint of the season with the Guardians after pitching to a 3.38 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 10:11 K:BB in 10.2 innings between his previous two terms.

Guardians' Daniel Norris: Back with Cleveland on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Norris signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Wednesday.
Three days after electing free agency upon being DFA'd by Cleveland, Norris will return to the Guardians organization as minor-league depth. The 30-year-old lefty turned in decent results during his time in the majors this season with a 3.38 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 10.2 frames. However, Norris will need to improve upon his 5.60 ERA in Triple-A before he has any chance at being selected back onto the active roster.

Guardians' Daniel Norris: Makes return to Cleveland
Rotowire
The Guardians selected Norris' contract from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Monday's game against the Royals, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Norris will be up with the Guardians for the second time this season after he previously spent four days with the club before being designated for assignment June 21. Since clearing waivers and reporting back to Triple-A, Norris has posted a 2.35 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 15.1 innings. Though he's been deployed as a swingman at Triple-A this season, Norris is likely to serve exclusively as a multi-inning bullpen arm while he's in the majors.

Rotowire
The Guardians designated Norris for assignment Wednesday.
Cleveland moved Norris off the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to clear room for top pitching prospect Gavin Williams, who is set to make his MLB debut Wednesday against the Athletics. Norris' stay with the big club lasted just four days, with the veteran lefty tossing two scoreless innings out of the bullpen over his lone appearance. If Norris passes through waivers and opts not to elect free agency, he'll remain in the organization and will report back to Triple-A Columbus.

Guardians' Daniel Norris: Inks MiLB deal with Cleveland
Rotowire
Norris signed a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
After being released by the Reds on Monday, the 29-year-old reliever will get a shot with Cleveland and report directly to minor-league camp. Norris put up a 5.22 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 58.2 major-league innings last season with the Cubs and Tigers, and he will likely begin the season at Triple-A.

Rotowire
The Reds released Norris on Monday.

Reds' Daniel Norris: Gets spring invite from Cincy
Rotowire
The Reds signed Norris on Wednesday to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to MLB spring training.
Norris split time between the Cubs and the Tigers during the 2022 season, logging a 5.22 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 66:29 K:BB across 58.2 innings over 41 appearances at the MLB level. He should have a shot at claiming a spot in the Reds' Opening Day bullpen with a strong showing in the Cactus League, but even if he breaks camp with the big club, he'll most likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role.

Tigers' Daniel Norris: Earns first 2022 win
Rotowire
Norris (1-4) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Wednesday against the Royals. He allowed one hit and struck out one.
Matt Manning was scratched right before his scheduled start due to arm fatigue and tendinitis, so the Tigers made it a bullpen game. That allowed Norris to swoop in for his first win of the season and just his third since the beginning of last year. The lefty now has a 5.53 ERA, and he's not much of a fantasy factor in his current relief role.

Tigers' Daniel Norris: Transitioning back to relief
Rotowire
Norris is moving to the Tigers bullpen, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Norris, 29, has a 3.27 ERA in 11 innings as a starter and a 6.28 ERA in 28.2 innings as a reliever, but his -2.0 K-BB% as a starter and 18.9 K-BB% as a reliever are more indicative of what to expect going forward. Eduardo Rodriguez (personal) is joining the rotation Sunday and the Tigers can work with a four-man rotation through the end of the month. Garrett Hill is also moving to the bullpen and Bryan Garcia is a candidate to take the ball the next time the Tigers need a fifth starter.

Tigers' Daniel Norris: Good start spoiled by bullpen
Rotowire
Norris allowed just one run on four hits across five innings but did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Guardians. He walked two and struck out four.
Norris arguably had his best outing of the year, going a season-high five innings and putting the Tigers in a position to win. The lefty left the game with his team up 3-1, but the bullpen imploded to allow seven runs in three innings, and Cleveland prevailed 8-4. Norris still has a high 5.45 ERA, though he's allowed just one run across 9.2 innings in his last two appearances. With Eduardo Rodriguez (personal) on track to return from the restricted list Sunday, Norris could get bumped from the rotation, but he might stick in a long-relief role.

Tigers' Daniel Norris: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Norris will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Norris mainly pitched out of the bullpen with the Cubs earlier in the season, but since getting released by Chicago and signing with Detroit, he's been building up as a starter at Toledo over the last few weeks. The southpaw will return to the majors ahead of Friday's series opener against the White Sox, and he'll likely have a chance to earn more than one start since several of Detroit's starters are dealing with injuries.
