Norris went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and run in Wednesday's 12-1 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

After a start at the plate that was disturbingly similar to last season, Norris has turned it around in May, hitting safely in five of seven games and compiling a .318 average over his first 22 at-bats. Norris has boosted his average 31 points to .217 with the recent surge, a figure that still leaves plenty of room for improvement but provides reason for optimism.

Norris went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Norris got his average over .200 for the first time since April 18 and now owns a modest but nevertheless encouraging three-game hitting streak. After hitting between .246 and .270 from 2013-15, the veteran backstop slumped to .186 over 458 plate appearances in San Diego last season, so any sign of offensive improvement is a welcome sight.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old's performance at the plate so far in 2017 has been every bit as bad as it was last season and even after hitting his first homer Friday, Norris is still only slashing .185/.2214/.262 through 18 games. Wilson Ramos (knee) is at least six weeks away from returning to action, but Norris' hold on the starting job could begin to slip before then if he doesn't start stringing together more hits.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop has gone 3-for-8 with a double and Tuesday's RBI over his last two games, pushing his average back to .200. Norris also drove in his first run since April 7 when he drove in Brad Miller in the sixth, and he continues to log the majority of starts behind the plate. The 28-year-old hasn't consistently hit for average since 2015 but has at least lowered his strikeout rate from the career-high 30.3 percent he notched last season to 25.6 percent, while also boosting his contact rate from 67 percent to 73 percent.

Norris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looks to be little more than a routine day off for Norris, who went 0-for-7 while starting the first two games of the series. Jesus Sucre will get the nod at catcher, serving as the battery mate for Alex Cobb.
