Matt Bowman has been diagnosed with a lat strain.

It's early enough in spring training that he could feasibly still compete for an Opening Day bullpen job, assuming the strain isn't overly severe. Bowman, 27, was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals in November. He holds a 4.10 ERA and 124/49 K/BB ratio in 149 1/3 career major league innings.

The Blue Jays have agreed to terms on a contract with free-agent right-hander Bud Norris, reports Craig Mish of SiriusXM (via Twitter). Norris is represented by the Ballengee Group.

Norris, who’ll turn 34 over the weekend, turned in a solid season with the Cardinals in 2018, working primarily as the closer in St. Louis. Over the life of 57 2/3 innings, the righty turned in a 3.59 ERA with 10.5 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 1.25 HR/9 and a 42.6 percent ground-ball rate. Fielding-independent metrics like FIP (3.99), xFIP (3.65) and SIERA (3.30) all felt that he was a generally solid bullpen piece with an ERA that was largely reflective of his overall performance.
Norris only got a minor league deal.

He can always fall back on playing bluegrass banjo like his Uncle Earl.
