Nootbaar Returns as Cardinals Push Up

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to welcome back key player Lars Nootbaar this Friday after a successful rehab stint, marking a major boost for a team currently sitting at 32-28 and second in their division. Nootbaar, sidelined all season due to heel issues, passed all tests and hit three homers with a strong OPS during his rehab, showing improved plate discipline. His return fills a critical spot in the lineup, with the outfield now looking solid as he joins Victor Scott II and Jordan Walker. Manager Oli Marmol confirmed his activation after Wednesday’s game, and his presence should energize the offense as the Cardinals aim to climb the standings.
