Tigers’ Daniel Norris ‘backtracks,’ might get extra work in Lakeland

Kissimmee, Fla. – Precisely where he pitches next, Daniel Norris isn’t sure. And neither are the Tigers. Publicly, anyway.

It appears as if Norris, who worked five innings Friday in a game the Tigers won in a 11-3 romp against the Braves at Disney World, will hang in Lakeland for at least a week or more to work in the sunshine against minor-leaguers, given that the Tigers won’t need five starters until well into April.

And that could be the best tonic for Norris, 24, a left-hander upon whom so much rides and in whom so much promise yet lives.
