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.

Walls hits 3-run homer in 10th, Rays beat Cardinals 4-2

Taylor Walls hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2

JUNE 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bench role awaits Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Impact The lefty-hitting Nootbaar's move to the bench coincides with Tampa Bay bringing a lefty (Jeffrey Springs) to the hill, but the 24-year-old appears likely to lose out on at-bats against right-handed pitching as well with Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) returning from the injured list Tuesday. With O'Neill back in action, Brendan Donovan is expected to see most of the starts at the other corner-outfield spot until Dylan Carlson (hamstring) is ready to return from the IL. Nootbaar went a collective 4-for-19 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and two runs while starting in five of the Cardinals' last six games.

Homers, doubles in Friday's win Nootbaar went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Friday's 14-5 win over the Cubs.

Impact Nootbaar's gone 3-for-9 with a homer and a pair of doubles over his last two games. He continues to fill in for a depleted Cardinals outfield that's likely to be missing Dylan Carlson (hamstring) and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) for roughly one more week. Nootbaar has a .154/.214/.282 slash line, four RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base in 42 plate appearances. With his start in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cubs, the 24-year-old will be in the lineup for a fourth straight game, though it's possible he's benched for the nightcap.

Called up after three-homer game The Cardinals recalled Nootbaar from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Nootbaar will make the jump to the big leagues fresh off going 3-for-5 with three home runs and seven RBI on Sunday in Memphis' 10-4 win over Gwinnett. Overall, Nootbaar produced a 1.050 OPS across 50 plate appearances with Memphis following his demotion from the Cardinals on April 25. While he's up with the Cardinals for the second time this season, the lefty-hitting Nootbaar could vie for a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield with both Dylan Carlson (hamstring) and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list.

Sent to Triple-A Nootbaar was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Nootbaar had been with the team since Opening Day but didn't have a path to regular at-bats. He went .125/.263/.125 in 19 plate appearances across the team's first 14 games, starting four times. Brendan Donovan was recalled to take his place on the roster.

APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches steal in win Nootbaar went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a pair of strikeouts in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Impact Nootbaar had seen little opportunity to play early in the season, but he's spelled each of Dylan Carlson, Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill once in the last four games. Through 19 plate appearances, Nootbaar hasn't made much of his limited playing time. He's 2-for-16 with one RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base and 3:9 K:BB. The 24-year-old will likely continue to serve as a fourth outfielder for the Cardinals.

Awarded start Nootbaar will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and will bat fifth Monday against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nootbaar broke camp as the Cardinals' fourth outfielder, but he went unused off the bench for the first three games of the series with St. Louis went with an outfield of Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader and Dylan Carlson from left to right. The Cardinals will go with that outfield configuration once again Monday and likely in most games when all are available, but Nootbaar will get a look at DH in the series finale while Corey Dickerson and Albert Pujols take a seat.
