Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Taking seat Friday against lefty
Nootbaar is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The left-handed-hitting Nootbaar will get a day off as the Cubs send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Nootbaa had made 11 straight starts, including three versus lefties. Jose Fermin will be in left field for the Cardinals in the series opener.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Sitting out against left-hander
Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.
Since he returned from the injured list earlier this month, the left-handed-hitting Nootbaar has been out of the lineup each of the three times the Cardinals have faced a traditional lefty starter. However, it could be more about picking spots to rest Nootbaar following a long layoff than it is about him being in a platoon. Nelson Velazquez will play left field for St. Louis in the series opener.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Posts two hits in season debut
Nootbaar went 2-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Reds.
Nootbaar hit leadoff and recorded a single in his first at-bat of the campaign before adding an RBI double in the sixth. The 28-year-old slashed .234/.325/.361 with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored and four steals across 583 plate appearances in 2025 and should settle into an everyday role as long as he can stay healthy.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Activated ahead of season debut
The Cardinals activated Nootbaar (heels) from the 60-day injured list Friday.
Noobaar is ready to make his season debut after recovering from offseason surgery to correct deformities in both heels. He looked good during a 12-game rehab stint, slashing .257/.409/.543 with three home runs and a 9:6 BB:K. The Cardinals will likely mix in some extra off days initially so they don't overload Nootbaar, but he's poised to be the team's everyday left fielder. Nootbaar is batting leadoff in Friday's game versus the Reds.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Lined up for activation Friday
Nootbaar (heels) "appears targeted" to be activated from the 60-day injured list before the start of Friday's series against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
A previous report indicated that the Cardinals were aiming for June 1 for Nootbaar's season debut, but it seems he will remain on his rehab assignment a bit longer. The 28-year-old has looked good in his first 10 rehab games spread across three affiliates, slashing .259/.412/.519 with two home runs and a 7:4 BB:K. Nootbaar is working his way back from offseason double heel surgery.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Aiming for June 1 return
The Cardinals are eyeing June 1 as a target date for Nootbaar's (heels) activation from the 60-day injured list, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Nootbaar homered in his first rehab game with Single-A Palm Beach last week and has since moved up to Triple-A Memphis, going 2-for-6 with a 1:2 BB:K over three contests between the two stops. He's played left field twice and served as a designated hitter once, and Nootbaar is projected to be the Cardinals' everyday left fielder when he rejoins the active roster. The 28-year-old is working his way back from double heel surgery.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Beginning rehab assignment
Nootbaar (heels) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Palm Beach on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Nootbaar has been ramping up workouts at the Cardinals' spring training facility in Florida and is finally ready to test things out in a game setting. It will be his first game action since he underwent offseason surgery to address painful growths on both heels. He's eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list May 24, but it's likely Noobaar will need a little more time than that. When he does make it back onto St. Louis' active roster, Nootbaar could take over left field from the lackluster duo of Nathan Church (.681 OPS in 136 PAs) and Thomas Saggese (.380 OPS in 65 PAs).

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Nearing rehab assignment
Nootbaar (heels) will begin a rehab assignment over the weekend, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Nootbaar is expected to begin playing his rehab games at Single-A Palm Beach before advancing to higher-level affiliates in what will be a lengthy assignment similar to spring training. Assuming he doesn't encounter any setbacks, he figures to make his season debut with the Cardinals in late May or early June.

Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Targeting late May/early June
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Nootbaar (heels) is on track to begin a rehab assignment as soon as the week of May 10, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Nootbaar has been taking live batting practice and going through running drills at the team's spring training complex in Florida and is almost ready to test out his surgically repaired heels in official game action. It will essentially be his spring training when he does start playing in games, so Nootbaar will need a significant amount of rehab action. The goal is for the 28-year-old outfielder to be ready for his season debut by late May or early June. Nootbaar will likely take over as the Cardinals' everyday left fielder when he returns to the active roster.
