Norris still has occasional back tightness, but at least now it’s manageable.
DETROIT — They seem to come in bunches for Daniel Norris: dead-arm, thyroid cancer, fractured back. At the risk of sounding repetitive, he is healthy. Again. His injury ended up being a blessing in disguise for him, even though he said it was “frustrating” at times. But on Thursday, he finally made his first start of the season for the Detroit Tigers.
“I’ve been through a lot in my life, that’s one thing that’s — every day I get to wake up and work hard,” he said after Thursday’s win.
