Lars Nootbaar Stats

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Tommy Edman and Lars Nootbaar will sit out against JT Brubaker and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Edman has played in 17 straight games for the Cardinals, and appears to just be getting a breather today. Nootbaar, on the other hand, has now been out of the starting lineup in three of the team's last eight games after playing in every game but one in August. To be fair, Nootbar has been ice cold, going hitless in his last 22 at-bats. With the Cardinals outfield jammed up, expect playing time to be distributed on a who's hot basis among these two, Tyler O'Neill, Corey Dickerson, and Brendan Donovan.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar is absent from the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers. The team is going with Dylan Carlson, Harrison Bader and Tommy Edman in the outfield. Nootbaar has been a regular in the starting lineup lately, so it's a bit surprising to see him sitting out while Tyler O'Neill (back) is sidelined with a back injury for the second straight game. The 23-year-old Nootbaar has been hitting well for the Cardinals in August. He's started nine total games this month and he's appeared in a total of 15 games. Over that stretch, he's slashed .316/.366/.605 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs. He's worth waiver wire consideration in NL-only leagues and deep leagues, especially if O'Neill lands on the injured list.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. He will take the place of Carlos Martinez (thumb) who has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Nootbaar has collected just four hits at the MLB level this season, but shouldn't be written off that fast. He's slashing .310/.426/.524 over 84 at-bats in Triple-A this season. He won't be worth rostering in basically any fantasy formats, but might have NL-only value if he can get it going at the plate.
