On bench against lefty Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Nootbaar had started each of the Cardinals' last five contests, going 5-for-18 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs and a 4:5 BB:K. Though the lefty hitter appears to have settled back into a groove at the plate, he'll still get held out against select southpaws. Nootbaar will give up his spot in the outfield to Jordan Walker on Sunday with Andrew Abbott on the hill.

Impact Before he exited the lineup for Saturday's 8-5 win, Nootbaar had gone 1-for-27 with 15 strikeouts -- including the first two four-strikeout games of his career -- over the previous six games, all Cardinals losses. Marmol is hopeful that with two days out of the lineup plus Monday's off day, Nootbaar will be ready to reprise his usual role as the Cardinals' everyday left fielder, though it's less certain if he'll reclaim leadoff duties right away. Brendan Donovan (toe) will serve as the Cardinals' table setter Sunday in his return from a four-game absence.
