DETROIT -- The Tigers aren't sure yet whether Daniel Norris will make it back to the mound at Comerica Park again this season after surgery on his groin in early May. But the young left-hander is at least pitching again, starting a Minor League rehab assignment that puts him on schedule for a potential September callup.
Norris threw two innings Saturday morning in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League at Tigertown, allowing an unearned run on one hit with a walk and two strikeouts. His fastball sat around 90-91 mph, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.
The appearance marked Norris' first game action since April 29, when he left his start at Baltimore in the third inning with left groin tightness.
