Lars Nootbaar - Departs with heel injuryNootbaar was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs due to right heel soreness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
ImpactThe 25-year-old outfielder went 0-for-3 before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the seventh inning of Sunday's contest. Nootbaar should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

Adam Wainwright - Rejoining rotation MondayCardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wainwright (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Diamondbacks in Arizona, John Denton of...
ImpactMarmol noted that his preference was to bring back Wainwright from the 15-day injured list later in the week following another live batting practice session, but the veteran right-hander will end up coming back a little earlier than expected to cover some innings and help protect an overtaxed bullpen. Given that a projected 65-pitch workload would still make it tough for Wainwright to get through five innings, he could struggle to qualify for a win in his return to action. Wainwright tentatively lines up for a two-start week, with his second turn through the rotation coming next weekend at home versus the Cubs.

Miles Mastrobuoni - Moves into reserve roleMastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ImpactThough he's on the bench Sunday versus a southpaw (Jordan Montgomery), Mastrobuoni's opportunities to play against right-handed pitching may become more scarce now that Dansby Swanson is back from the injured list. With Swanson back in the fold, Christopher Morel is unlikely to see much time in the middle infield moving forward and could end up settling into an everyday role at third base, where Mastrobuoni had been occupying the strong side of a platoon with Patrick Wisdom.
