Padres hope catcher Norris is back Tuesday

SAN DIEGO -- The prospect of losing catcher Derek Norris for any length of time doesn't sit well with Padres interim manager Pat Murphy.

Luckily for Murphy and the Padres, it doesn't appear to be a topic they will need to weigh heavily.

Norris gave Murphy and the Padres a scare when he left Saturday's 8-0 victory over the Cardinals in the eighth inning after he was crossed-up on a pitch from reliever Kevin Quackenbush, as the pitch hit him on the inside of his left wrist.

Norris had X-rays late Saturday, and they came back negative.
