Fans have been dreaming on Daniel Norris’ potential ever since he arrived from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015. He gave them a taste of the future in his Tigers debut, a dazzling 7 1⁄3 inning performance against the Baltimore Orioles. Since then, Norris has struggled through injuries, bouts of wildness, and a battle with thyroid cancer, and has fallen short of his lofty ceiling.
Norris received another setback over the weekend, when he left his start against the Orioles with a groin injury. On Monday, the team announced that Norris will have surgery to fix the issue later this week.
