Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Daniel Norris's rise through the minor leagues has been rapid.
Shi Davidi of Sportsnet is reporting that the 21-year-old, who began the 2014 season with Single-A Dunedin, will finish his season in the majors.
Norris joins young arms Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez in Toronto after dominating in five appearances with Triple-A Buffalo, posting a 3-1 record along with a 3.18 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings.
| Level | W-L | IP | ERA | SO-BB |

| A+ | 6-0 | 66.1 | 1.22 | 76-18 |
| AA | 3-1 | 35.2 | 4.54 | 49-47 |
| AAA | 3-1 | 22.2 | 3.18 | 38-8 |
The left-hander was selected 74th overall in the 2011 MLB Draft and is expected to work out of the bullpen.
