Norris said he had been given a timeline of three to six weeks, the latter end of which would put his return for the final week of the regular season.

Norris was the main acquisition by the Tigers in a trade that sent left-hander David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays on July 31.
The Toronto Blue Jays have traded left-handed minor league pitcher Randy Wolf to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for cash considerations. Ive been to his house, Ausmus said. “He’s played for quite a while”.
His 373rd Major League start will come on his 39th birthday, putting him against a Texas Rangers offense that has batted. Im sure hes made plenty of money ($68,739,482 according to Baseball Reference). So I think that speaks to the character and how much he loves the game of baseball that he continued to battle at the minor-league level after being a big leaguer for so long.
Krauss, whom the Tigers signed last month shortly after Miguel Cabrera suffered a calf injury and was placed on the disabled list, hist just.
Wolf was 9-2 with a 2.58 ERA at Triple-A Buffalo. Norris has made 10 starts in the majors. “This could be a blessing in disguise in some way, and I’m just going to be patient with it and do everything I can to stay healthy from this point on”. In 139.2 innings he allowed 139 hits, 4 home runs, 40 walks and 106 strikeouts. He doesn’t have the same stuff he had when he first got called to the big leagues, but he was pretty young at that time. I think saying it hasn’t translated is unfair to him.
