Tigers watching workloads for Boyd, Norris

Boyd's seven strong innings on Wednesday night put the first Major League win on his resume, but it also pushed his combined innings total for the season to 128 1/3, five shy of his career high from last year. Norris' 7 1/3 innings last Sunday at Baltimore put his season total at 121 1/3, about nine shy of his 2014 total between the Minors and Toronto.

Even with an organization that doesn't have a set policy on innings jumps, it's worth watching. The Tigers don't necessarily have a target number in mind for either, but manager Brad Ausmus and pitching coach Jeff Jones both acknowledge they have to watch it.
