Lars Nootbaar - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Unable to swing without discomfort Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Monday that Nootbaar is not been able to swing a bat without feeling discomfort in his left ribcage, Derrick Goold of...

Impact The team had hoped Nootbaar would be ready to begin a hitting progression Monday, but it appears the outfielder is not ready for that yet. A timetable for Nootbaar's return won't become clear until he's able to ramp things up without pain. Nootbaar landed on the 10-day injured list just over a week ago with a left costochondral sprain, an injury which had kept him in and out of the lineup since late June.

Hopes to resume hitting Monday The Cardinals hope Nootbaar (ribs) is ready to begin a hitting progression as soon as Monday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Nootbaar landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left costochondral sprain, an injury which had kept him in and out of the lineup since late June. The outfielder will be eligible for activation July 23, but it sounds unlikely that he will be ready on that date. With Nootbaar shelved, the Cardinals had Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker in the corner outfield spots in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Shelved with rib sprain St. Louis placed Nootbaar on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left costochondral sprain.

Impact Nootbaar will be sidelined through at least the Cardinals' fifth game following the All-Star break after he was removed from Saturday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta due to side discomfort. The outfielder had also been lifted from a game two days earlier due to the same issue, so the Cardinals opted to give him some extra time off to heal up from the injury. St. Louis activated designated hitter/catcher Ivan Herrera (hamstring) from the IL in a corresponding move.

Pulled with side discomfort Nootbaar was removed from Saturday's game against Atlanta due to left side discomfort, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nootbaar has been dealing with a ribcage/intercostal injury over the past several weeks, which may have had something to do with his early removal Saturday. With the All-Star break quickly approaching, the Cardinals could look to get the 27-year-old an extra day of rest and sit him during Sunday's first-half finale.

JULY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In lineup Friday Nootbaar (ribs) is batting fifth and playing left field Friday against Atlanta.

Impact Nootbaar was precautionarily lifted from Thursday's game with a rib injury, but he's back in the starting nine Friday. The 27-year-old is slashing .230/.334/.387 with 12 home runs in 380 plate appearances this season.

Lifted in seventh inning Nootbaar left Thursday's game against the Nationals in the seventh inning due to a rib cage injury, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The team stated that the move was precautionary and Nootbaar is expected to be back in the lineup Friday. While that's positive news, it is worth noting that he nursed a similar issue that cost him two games from late June into early July

Returns to lineup Tuesday Nootbaar (intercostal) will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Nootbaar missed each of the last two contests after aggravating a left intercostal injury, but he took batting practice Monday and is feeling well enough to give it a go in the second game of the series. The outfielder is slashing .227/.334/.381 with 11 home runs in 78 contests this season.

IL decision could come Tuesday Nootbaar (intercostal) was slated to take batting practice Monday to determine whether he'd be available to play Tuesday or require a longer absence, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis...

Impact Nootbaar was given a pain-killing shot last week to combat a left intercostal issue and he hasn't played since aggravating the injury on a check swing in Saturday's game versus the Guardians. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol noted Monday before Nootbaar was slated to take batting practice that the outfielder "said it's feeling a little better." The Cardinals can fully backdate a 10-day injured list stint Tuesday, so they could make that transaction if it's determined Nootbaar isn't ready to play. Brendan Donovan has been in left field and Thomas Saggese has handled second base the last two days with Nootbaar unavailable.

Likely out until Tuesday Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated Sunday that Nootbaar (intercostal) will likely remain out of the lineup until at least Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Disp...

Impact Nootbaar has been in and out of the lineup over the past week due to a left intercostal injury. With the Pirates scheduled to start left-hander Andrew Heaney on Monday, it makes sense to give the lefty-swinging Nootbaar another day of rest. While the Cardinals seem hopeful that Nootbaar will be ready to go Tuesday, a stint on the 10-day injured list cannot be ruled out, given the nature of the injury.

May be nursing rib injury Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that he had no medical update available on Nootbaar, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians after he appeared to twea...

Impact The left-handed-hitting Nootbaar's absence from the lineup Sunday could have more to do with the fact that the Guardians are starting a lefty (Logan Allen) rather than an injury, but the outfielder's fantasy managers will nonetheless want to keep an eye on his status heading into St. Louis' three-game series in Pittsburgh that begins Monday. Nootbaar was able to finish out Saturday's contest, but he had been nursing rib pain in recent days coming into that game.

JUNE 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against lefty Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Nootbaar will hit the bench for a fourth straight matchup with a left-handed starting pitcher (Logan Allen) and appears to have settled into a strong-side platoon role after batting an unremarkable .215/.333/.308 in 126 plate appearances versus southpaws so far this season. With fellow left-handed hitter Alec Burleson also out of the lineup Sunday, the Cardinals will run out a starting outfield of Brendan Donovan, Victor Scott and Garrett Hampson from left to right.

Back in lineup Nootbaar (side) is batting fifth and playing left field Friday against Cleveland.

Impact Nootbaar missed back-to-back games with an intercostal injury, but he's feeling well enough to start Friday. He's riding a six-game hit streak, going 7-for-22 (.318) with three home runs and a 4:6 BB:K during that stretch.

JUNE 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with intercostal injury Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Nootbaar was unavailable Wednesday and again Thursday after receiving a pain-killing shot to combat an intercostal injury, Jeff Jones of t...

Impact It explains why Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for a second straight day Thursday. The Cardinals are optimistic that they caught the injury early and expect Nootbaar to be ready to return to the lineup Friday when they begin a road trip in Cleveland.

JUNE 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again versus southpaw Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Nootbaar homered in each of the first two games of the series against the Cubs, but he's now been on the bench for two straight versus left-handed pitching. Brendan Donovan is playing left field and Thomas Saggese will cover second base for the Cardinals.
