Well something good came from Marcus Stroman's suspension! Because Stroman's start is pushed back one day from the six-game suspension, an open slot appeared in the Blue Jays' rotation and the Blue Jays have rewarded Daniel Norris to fill that space, according to Sportsnet's Barry Davis.
Congrats to @DanielNorris18 , who will make his first ML start for the #BlueJays on Thursday.

And Daniel Norris's reaction to the news?
I've said it many times, but it is incredible to see the 21-year-old Norris get a major league start after struggling in Lansing just 14 months ago. Norris last started on August 26 for the Bisons (throwing 91 pitches), and have thrown 30, 6, 24, 21, and 28 pitches in the five appearances (last four MLB) since. Unless he is very efficient, I can't see him get past three innings on Thursday against the Mariners.
Tuesday's Lineup
Let's say the Blue Jays aren't trotting out their Opening Day lineup tonight against Felix Hernandez:
#BlueJays 9/23 vs. #Mariners. Kawasaki's hitting fifth. So, yep. #MLB http://ift.tt/1uj17f4
