For the 16th time this season, the Detroit Tigers will have a new starting pitcher. He is scheduled to take the mound Friday against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The name is familiar: Daniel Norris.
Norris pitched for the Tigers from 2015-21 and returned to the organization in late July on a minor-league contract. After three starts for Triple-A Toledo, the 29-year-old is coming back to the majors as a starting pitcher.
"He's very excited come back," manager A.J. Hinch said.
At last year’s trade deadline, the Tigers traded Norris to the Milwaukee Brewers for pitching prospect Reese Olson.
