Today the Padres announced that they had signed RHP Bud Norris for the remainder of the 2015 season. To make room on the 40 man and 25 man rosters for Norris and tonight’s starter, Colin Rea, the Padres placed Brandon Maurer on the 15 day DL and designated Dale Thayer and Taylor Lindsey for assignment.
This season Norris has a record of 2-9 with a 7.06 ERA in 18 games (11 starts). It’s been the worst year of his career by far.
