Daniel Norris optioned to AAA

[gbill2004]

Blue Jays optioned LHP Daniel Norris to Triple-A Buffalo.

Norris entered the season with plenty of buzz and put up a decent 3.86 ERA over five starts, but he also had a 1.50 WHIP and had efficiency issues. The lefty complained of a "dead arm" recently, so perhaps he's not quite over that yet and the Jays prefer him working through things at Triple-A in the meantime. They'll need a starter to replace Norris next week.

Daniel Norris demotion similar in some ways to Marcus Stroman last year. Chance to reset, regain consistency, take off upon return

 

Lol, wasn't Stroman optioned back to AAA last year to get stretched out to start? (could be wrong)

Yes. And Stroman's peripherals were fantastic as a reliever. These situations have little in common.

[Daniel Labude]

Estrada to starter

It's about ERA lol

 

Norris to AAA is a good move right now. I own him in a redraft league, but it was a good move.

Could this also be a move to save MLB service time?

Echoing @ShiDavidi - this Norris demotion looks a lot like Stroman's a year ago. Stroman was down for 2 1/2 weeks. #Bluejays #Jays

 

lol

doubt it but if you gain an extra year of control its not a bad thing. Biggest thing is obviously him getting his command back.

Bizarre to see Daniel Norris optioned when he has lowest ERA of any #BlueJays starter by more than a run. Command wasn't there, though.

 

lol

[burlingtonbandit]

And Devon Travis is out of the lineup tonight as well. Blue Jays looking great.

[Frenchsoup]

Norris has looked awful all year besides the Tampa start. Love this move.

[baubau]

Love it. Can't wait till the gong show in Sanchez's start begins. Hendricks to rotation and Sanchez to the pen likely.

Hopefully that's just a day off...Travis has played all but a few games and has been beat up a bit

Getting it back? He never really had it to start with. This was a glaring issue going into the season that everyone seemingly ignored because he had a cool beard and lived in a van.

Perhaps I should of said getting more consistent with Delivery/Command. More like getting back to what he did in the Spring. His stuff has dropped off so maybe give him a few extra days rest.

[Governator]

Is there any word on Travis, is he more seriously hurt that we're to believe? He was really in pain swinging the bat.

[RealAccountant]

I hope he comes back even stronger even more so Francis needs to start

[ScientificReason]

It's happening.

Would you quit it with this idiotic narrative? You can like Norris as a pitcher and actually hate the whole Jesus in a van shtick you know? Even those who actually like that can seperate it from his promise as a pitcher which is, you know, a real thing.

Aparrently just sore. X ray came back clean even though he thought he might of cracked it. Sounds like he could be out for a few days.

[HERPDERP]

Let's hope Travis doesn't catch a case of Brian Robertsitus

[GD]

oh well
