Lars Nootbaar Activated And Starting Friday
1 year agoThe St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Lars Nootbaar (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Nootbaar is right back in the fold on Friday, starting in center field and hitting leadoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller. The 25-year-old landed on the injured list on Aug. 17 after fouling a pitch off his groin, but he's back now and ready to serve as the team's regular center fielder to close out what has been a really disappointing season for the Cards. The 25-year-old has been a bright spot for St. Louis when he's been on the field, though, slashing .283/.382/.453 with an .835 OPS, 12 home runs, 39 RBI, eight stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 90 games played in just his third MLB season.
