MILWAUKEE -- Padres catcher Derek Norris left Thursday's series opener with a left hand contusion after being hit by a pitch.
Norris was hit by a 95-mph fastball from Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson with two out in the second inning. Norris stayed in the game as a runner, but he was replaced by Christian Bethancourt prior to the start of the bottom of the inning.
San Diego has three catchers on its 25-man roster after claiming Hector Sanchez off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday. Sanchez is expected to join the Padres for Friday's game.
