LARS NOOTBAAR NEWS

Swats solo shot Friday Nootbaar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact Nootbaar went back-to-back with Nolan Gorman in the sixth inning as the Cardinals doubled their offense from three to six runs. Since the All-Star break, Nootbaar has gone 4-for-15 (.267) with two extra-base hits, two RBI and three runs scored. The 24-year-old is getting a regular look in right field with Harrison Bader's (foot) absence requiring Dylan Carlson to cover center field. For the season, Nootbaar owns a .210/.294/.400 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base and five doubles through 119 plate appearances.

Getting burn in right field Nootbaar will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game in Toronto.

Impact Nootbaar will get a third consecutive start and his fourth in five games since the All-Star break after he went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and a run in Tuesday's 10-3 loss. The Cardinals will get back Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado from the restricted list following Wednesday's contest, at which point Brendan Donovan could see more time in right field and close off Nootbaar's path to steady playing time.

Tacks on three-run homer Nootbaar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Reds.

Impact Nootbaar has quietly hit safely in his last six games, though he had a brief trip to Triple-A Memphis in the midst of that stretch. He's gone 7-for-16 (.438) with four extra-base hits as he continues to improve at the plate. Through 101 plate appearances this year, he's slashing .200/.277/.378 with four homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored, a stolen base and four doubles. With Juan Yepez (forearm) and Harrison Bader (foot) sidelined, Nootbaar should have a chance to carve out a role against right-handed pitching until the Cardinals' outfield group is healthier.

Quick return to majors Nootbaar was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Impact The 24-year-old was demoted to Memphis on Thursday but will rejoin the big club a day later since Juan Yepez (forearm) was placed on the injured list. Nootbaar should serve as a reserve outfielder until Yepez or Harrison Bader (foot) are able to rejoin the active roster after the All-Star break.

Anderson tosses 6 scoreless, Dodgers top Cardinals 4-0

Sent down Thursday Nootbaar was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact Nootbaar recorded hits in each of his last five games and went 6-for-12 with a homer, two doubles, three runs and three RBI over that stretch. However, he had lost out on some playing time recently and will head to the minors after Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Homers in Monday's win Nootbaar hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Monday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Nootbaar replaced Juan Yepez in right field at the start of the eighth inning. In the bottom of the frame, Nootbaar hit a leadoff homer. The 24-year-old outfielder has filled more of a reserve role even with the Cardinals missing Tyler O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) and Harrison Bader (foot). Nootbaar has gone 4-for-12 with a homer, a double and three RBI in July, but he's still slashing a poor .173/.253/.321 through 91 plate appearances this season.

Takes seat Monday Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Nootbaar went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI while starting the final two games of the weekend, but he'll be on the bench for Monday's series finale. Brendan Donovan (illness) could be ready to rejoin the St. Louis lineup as soon as Tuesday's game against the Dodgers and Tyler O'Neill (hamstring/wrist) may be ready to come off the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break, so Nootbaar's small window of opportunity could come to a close quickly.

Losing work to Capel Nootbaar remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Sitting for the third game in a row, Nootbaar looks to be the Cardinals' fourth outfielder at the moment, even while all of Tyler O'Neill (hamstring), Harrison Bader (foot) and Corey Dickerson (calf) are still on the injured list. Conner Capel will be rewarded with a third straight start in right field after going 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss.

JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benched against righty Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The lefty-hitting Nootbaar will have a clearer path to playing time in the outfield with all of Tyler O'Neill (hamstring), Harrison Bader (foot) and Corey Dickerson (calf) on the shelf, but he won't necessarily be a mainstay in the lineup, even versus right-handed pitching. Conner Capel will replace Nootbaar in the outfield Sunday with right-hander Zack Wheeler on the bump for Philadelphia.

Sits versus lefty Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact With southpaw Braxton Garrett on the mound for Miami, the lefty-hitting Nootbaar will bow out of the lineup after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's 9-0 win. While Tyler O'Neill (hamstring), Harrison Bader (foot) and Corey Dickerson (calf) are all on the injured list, Nootbaar should continue to see steady starts, against right-handed pitching.

May play regularly versus righties Nootbaar will start in right field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Nootbaar was on the bench for the entire three-game series with the Cubs over the weekend, but he could temporarily step into a regular role versus right-handed pitching after fellow outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. With Bader joining Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) and Corey Dickerson (calf) on the IL, the Cardinals' outfield depth in being tested at the moment, and Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan appear to be the most logical candidates to play alongside Dylan Carlson in most games. The lefty-hitting Nootbaar could give way to Juan Yepez against left-handed pitching, however.

Hits homer in loss Nootbaar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Nootbaar got the Cardinals within a run with his fifth-inning blast, but they couldn't even up the score. He's gone 3-for-9 across four games since he was called up to replace Tyler O'Neill on the big-league roster. Playing time is likely to be limited for Nootbaar as he fills the role of a fourth outfielder. He's slashing .169/.242/.305 with two homers, seven RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base in 66 plate appearances overall.

Recalled by Cardinals Nootbar was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Nootbar's arrival gives the Cardinals an additional outfielder with Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) hitting the injured list. Nootbar accomplished very little with his 57 plate appearances earlier in the season, striking out a third of the time while hitting .140/.228/.240.

Optioned to Memphis Nootbaar was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Impact Nootbaar joined the active roster in late May when Dylan Carlson went down with a strained hamstring. He didn't see regular playing time and didn't have much success at the plate, hitting .147/.211/.294 across 15 games. With Carlson returning from the injured list Friday, Nootbaar will return to the minors.
