The Chicago Cubs are signing free-agent left-hander Daniel Norris to an undisclosed major league deal, according to a source. The Milwaukee Brewers acquired Norris from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline last summer, but he struggled with the Brew Crew to the tune of a 6.64 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 20 1/3 innings in the second half. Overall, the 28-year-old had a 6.16 ERA and 1.49 WHIP while fanning 58 hitters and walking 30 in 57 relief innings for the Tigers and Brewers in 56 appearances. Norris began his career as a starter, but he hasn't been a full-time starter since 2019 and hasn't been very effective in a relief role in the last couple of years.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Daniel Norris isn't on the team's 26-man roster for the National League Division Series. Norris pitched to a 6.64 ERA and a 6.81 FIP in 20.1 innings for the Brewers after being acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline. Overall, the left-hander pitched to a 6.16 ERA, a 4.87 FIP, 58 strikeouts, and 30 walks in 57 innings this season. The Brewers will go with Aaron Ashby, Brad Boxberger, Jake Cousins, Jandel Gustave, Josh Hader, and Hunter Strickland in the bullpen for the series against the Atlanta Braves.
Updating an earlier reports, Detroit Tigers relief pitcher has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for starting pitcher Reese Olson, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. Norris has looked better on the mound over the last month, posting a 3.24 ERA, 0.720 WHIP and 29 percent strikeout rate over 8 1/3 innings of work, and now he'll become a good option to pick up in SV/HLD formats. Meanwhile, Olson has gone 5-4 with a 4.30 ERA, 1.348 WHIP and 26.9 percent strikeout rate over 69 innings at High-A this year.
The Milwaukee Brewers are in talks with the Detroit Tigers to acquire relief pitcher Daniel Norris, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. Norris has had a rough start to the season, but had looked better on the mound in the month of July, where he posted a 3.24 ERA, 0.720 WHIP and 29 percent strikeout rate over 8 1/3 innings of work. He would only be a viable option in SV/HLD formats, but he would likely see a slight boost in value moving from the AL Central to the NL Central. Managers should keep an eye out for further updates as we approach the deadline.
Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer and left-hander Daniel Norris are slated to split Mondays start against the White Sox with Fulmer going first, followed by Norris. The decision severely caps both mens fantasy intrigue, as they likely will not pitch long enough to compile enough points. Fulmer had his second start pushed back due to rain last week, while Detroit has been vocal about their desire to utilize Norris in a limited capacity. The .342 on-base percentage that the White Sox have accumulated as a team on the road this season ranks as the second-highest mark in the American League, which could make the club an appealing DFS stack against the duo of Fulmer and Norris, who have yielded a combined six runs in 4 frames this year.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris is reportedly expected to join Detroit's summer camp before the end of next week. Norris has not attended camp yet and was recently placed on the 10-day injured list after testing positive for COVID-19. Upon his return, Norris is expected to compete for the fifth spot in the rotation. He is only an option in deep AL-only leagues at the moment. The 27-year-old left-hander feels good despite dealing with the virus, though, so he might have a shot at entering the rotation shortly after the start of the season.
Updating a previous report, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris has tested positive for COVID-19. Norris was recently placed on the 10-day injured list. He seemed optimistic when addressing the situation, stating the following: "Im healthy and ready to rock as soon as I get some good news." Last season, he went 3-13 with a 4.49 ERA in 32 games. Even though the southpaw is feeling good, it doesn't mean he'll be part of the rotation to begin the season, especially since he's been absent for the first six days of summer camp. The 27-year-old was set to compete for a rotation spot, but that is definitely up in the air now. Norris will be a low-upside arm if he's in the rotation this year in AL-only leagues.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He has not been seen at any of Detroit's summer camp workouts. He was projected to be part of the starting rotation. Michael Fulmer seems like a safe bet to take his place. Fulmer is an intriguing sleeper with upside. The former All-Star dealt with a variety of injuries in 2018 and missed the entire 2019 season. Meanwhile, Norris is off the fantasy radar in the short-term.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris (groin) left his start early on Friday against the Nationals after five innings due to groin cramping. Norris had collided with Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton at third base in the first inning. The left-hander had given up five hits (one homer) and two earned runs while walking one and striking out three in his five innings. It's unclear how severe the injury is, but his next start is certainly in question. Norris is 2-7 with a 4.62 ERA, 7.25 K/9 and 2.10 BB/9 in his 85 2/3 innings on the season. There's not a ton of upside here on a really bad team and with a mediocre strikeout rate in his career.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris had one of his worst outings of the year in Saturday's 10-5 loss to Atlanta. Norris allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits, including two home runs, along with one walk and four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. He got off to an outstanding start in the game, setting down nine of the first 10 batters. However, things fell apart thereafter for the southpaw as he permitted two runs in each of the next three frames. The 26-year-old has seen his ERA increase nearly a full point over his last five starts, as he has allowed 31 hits (six homers) along with 20 runs (17 earned) in 28 2/3 innings. Norris is slated to garner his 10th start of the season on Thursday against the Rays at home, where he is holding opponents to a .245 batting average this season.
