KANSAS CITY -- Tigers starter Daniel Norris' right oblique injury was bad enough when he first suffered it last road trip that sneezing was a painful experience.
"The first couple days, I would sneeze and it hurt so bad I wanted to cry," the left-hander said. "I came in one day and I was like, 'OK, I sneezed today and I didn't feel it.'"
It seems difficult to believe somebody could -- or should -- go from excruciating sneezes to pain-free pitches in a few weeks. For now, though, it's looking feasible, and the Tigers are willing to give Norris a chance to rehab his way toward pitching again this season.
