The right-handed Norris is 3-7 with a 4.22 ERA, but he's 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in six June appearances (five starts).
Norris is likely to be the Dodgers' starting pitcher on Friday, when ace Clayton Kershaw was scheduled to open the homestand against Colorado. Norris pitched seven innings on Sunday, so Friday is his regular day to pitch.
The deal comes the same day that the club announced that Kershaw was being placed on the 15-day disabled list with an unspecified lower back injury. Kershaw received an epidural injection for pain relief, but it's uncertain when he will return.
Kershaw joins starting pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brandon McCarthy, Brett Anderson, Alex Wood and Frankie Montas on the DL.
