## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals, currently at 23-15, are making waves in the National League, trailing the Chicago Cubs by just 3.5 games in the Central division. Despite low expectations, the Cardinals have been consistently topping quality opponents, even without outfielder Lars Nootbaar, whos been sidelined since heel surgery. Nootbaar, who hit 12 homers and drove in 45 RBIs last season, is set to begin a minor league rehab stint next week, potentially bolstering the Cardinals lineup and intensifying the division race.
