Lars Nootbaar - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Retreating to bench Sunday Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

Impact Nootbaar will sit for the second time in the series while the Diamondbacks go with Max Kepler in left field and Gabriel Moreno at designated hitter in the finale. Since being acquired from the Cardinals on Aug. 3, Nootbaar has gotten off to a slow start to his time in Arizona, going 5-for-32 (.156 average) with one stolen base, two runs and one RBI through 11 games.

Sitting again versus southpaw Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Bats leadoff Tuesday Nootbaar batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss Colorado.

Impact Nootbaar filled in at leadoff for the injured Geraldo Perdomo (knee), whose injury did not sound serious, per comments from manager Torey Lovullo in a report from Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Since joining the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, Nootbaar is 3-for-23 (.130) with five walks, one double, one RBI and two runs scored over seven games.

Out of Sunday's lineup Nootbaar is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact The veteran outfielder started all five games since being acquired from the Cardinals on Monday, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with lefty Justin Wrobleski taking the mound for Los Angeles. Nootbaar has opened his career with the Diamondbacks going 3-for-17 with four walks, a double, one RBI and one run scored. He likely won't see significant action against left-handed pitching.

Moves to LF, leadoff in win Nootbaar started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored as the leadoff batter in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

Impact Nootbaar was moved to left field in his second game in a Diamondbacks uniform after serving as the designated hitter Tuesday. He also took over the leadoff spot for a resting Ketel Marte. Nootbaar has extensive experience atop the order, having been deployed there 185 times in his career with the Cardinals. Marte remains the primary leadoff hitter for Arizona, but Nootbaar carries the traits a team seeks in the role. He's below league average in Chase percentage while consistently above average in BB percentage.

Operates as DH in debut Nootbaar served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to San Diego.

Impact Nootbaar made his debut for Arizona, which acquired the left-handed hitting outfielder prior to Monday's trade deadline. Even with injuries in the outfield, the Diamondbacks have a crowded picture there. Nootbaar is mainly a corner outfielder and will vie for time in left field with another lefty hitter, Max Kepler.

Impact Nootbaar, who broke into the majors with the Cardinals back in 2021, will depart the big-league club after eight years in the organization.

The 28-year-old has slashed .234/.333/.354 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 183 plate appearances this season. Nootbaar comes over to an injury-riddled outfield with Lourdes Gurriel (thigh), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) and Tommy Troy (shoulder) all on the injured list.
