Lars Nootbaar Activated From Injured List
5 months agoThe St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Lars Nootbaar (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Jose Fermin to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. It remains to be seen if Nootbaar will be back in the starting right away on Monday against the hosting Washington Nationals, but the 26-year-old should be a lineup regular now that he's back from a strained oblique that has kept him out for around the last six weeks. He went 6-for-23 with two home runs in seven games during a minor-league rehab assignment, so he looks to be in good shape at the plate for his return to the big leagues. Nootbaar's career has been littered with injuries to this point, but his power/speed combination makes him intriguing in most fantasy leagues, even if it's just as a bench option. Before getting hurt, he was hitting .234 (33-for-141) with five homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases.
