Nootbaar had just one big-league triple over 114 contests coming into Wednesday, and his fifth-inning stolen base was just the fourth of his career.

Looking like everyday player Nootbaar is starting in right field and batting ninth Friday against lefty Nestor Cortes and the Yankees, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact It's noteworthy that the lefty-hitting Nootbaar is in there with a same-handed pitcher on the mound for the opposition. He has now started 10 games in a row, including two against southpaws.

Perfect at plate Tuesday Nootbaar went 3-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Impact All three of Nootbaar's hits were singles, and he wasn't able to score despite twice getting into scoring position in four trips aboard. Still, the outfielder is enjoying a solid stretch at the plate -- he's gone 8-for-18 (.444) with five walks in his last six games. He's lifted his season slash line to .230/.321/.407 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base in 131 plate appearances. With Harrison Bader (foot) in the Bronx and Dylan Carlson taking over full-time in center field, Nootbaar has a clear path to a regular role in right field going forward.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Emerging as primary right fielder Nootbaar will start in right field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact With St. Louis dealing Harrison Bader (foot) to the Yankees on Tuesday and with Juan Yepez (forearm) likely a week or more away from coming off the injured list, Nootbaar looks like he'll have some leeway as an everyday player in the outfield. Nootbaar already appears to be playing ahead of Brendan Donovan and Corey Dickerson, who have now picked up seven and four starts over the past 10 games, respectively, while Nootbaar has started in all but one of those contests. Nootbaar concluded July with a .317/.420/.610 slash line over 18 games.

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.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
