Detroit Tigers: 3 players who may not return for the 2023 season

Detroit Tigers left-hander Daniel Norris may not return in 2023.

While the Detroit Tigers have not seen Daniel Norris all season long, he rejoined the team in August. After getting on track with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, the Tigers needed to call up the southpaw amid more pitching injuries.

The Tigers faithful are pretty used to Norris being on the mound for their team, so when there were more injuries, it was an easy call-up to bring him back. Norris has pitched in six games, two of them being as a starter, to manage 17.1 innings pitched in total.

Norris has pitched to a 4.67 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and punched out only 11 hitters in the process. It has been a little shaky at times, and Norris has not quite been able to be the pitcher the team might have been hoping for when they brought him back.

While the mid-season reunion was great and offered some promise when the team was hurting for pitchers, Norris will likely be heading to the curb once the 2022 season comes to an end. The Tigers will have other options ahead of him who will help fill out the pitching staff.

It may not be the biggest shock, but it’s one of those moves that will change up the personnel as the 2022 season ends. After all, Norris has been traded once; who knows? Maybe he will find his way back to the organization once again in 2023 via a minor league deal.

Jokes aside, Norris will likely be going his separate ways from the Tigers after the 2022 season ends.
