| Bud Norris leaves with back spasms |
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com (5/13/13) Astros starting pitcher Bud Norris left Monday's series opener against the Tigers with lower back spams, the team announced. Norris' back started to tighten up on him when he began warming up prior to the start of the sixth inning.
He was taken out of the game after being checked out by team trainers. Norrris, who was replaced on the mound by Paul Clemens, allowed seven runs on nine hits over five innings prior to leaving the game.
The right-hander is tentatively scheduled to make his next Sunday at Pittsburgh.

| Bud Norris efficient in win |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Astros starting pitcher Bud Norris showed a new level of efficiency Wednesday night, working into the ninth inning for the first time his career. However, he was removed after back-to-back singles by the Angels opened up the ninth inning, but closer Jose Veras shut down the rally to move Norris to 4-3 on the year.
Norris threw just 84 pitches in his eight-plus innings of work, allowing one earned run on nine hits and one walk while striking out two. His ERA fell to 3.40 ERA on the year, and he's surrendered two earned runs or less in six of his eight starts. Norris will draw a matchup with the Tigers in Detroit Monday.

| After posting a career-best 3.77 ERA in 2011, Bud Norris took a step back in 2012. He missed time in the first half due to a knee injury and went into the All-Star break with a 4.71 ERA. He didn't do much better down the stretch and finished the year 7-13 with a 4.65 ERA in 29 starts. While poor run support continued to affect his record, the right-hander posted solid strikeout numbers once again, whiffing 165 batters in 168 1/3 innings pitched. Norris has the potential to put up some gaudy numbers in Fantasy but his inability to pitch deep into games has hindered his career thus far. With the move to the AL West, the 27-year-old could be in for another down campaign so owners should keep that in mind on Draft Day. Target Norris in AL-only formats and some deeper mixed leagues in 2013. (Updated 12/12/12) |
