Tigers' Daniel Norris grateful to be freed from COVID-19 imprisonment

Cincinnati — Daniel Norris sat outside on his porch Tuesday, drinking a cup of coffee, listening to the birds chirping, looking very much like a man at peace.

That’s what happens when you are set free after 28 days of COVID-19 imprisonment.

“I was up until 4:30 in the morning,” he said. “It felt like Christmas morning. I’ve been praying a lot, hoping and praying.”

Norris, the Tigers’ lefty, got the news Monday afternoon that he’d finally been cleared of the virus protocol and could return to the team.
