## Resource

Lars Nootbaar’s triumphant return to the St. Louis Cardinals lineup—after offseason heel surgery—has already made a splash, going 2-for-6 in a win over the Reds. His comeback couldn’t be more timely as the Cardinals battle through a rough stretch, now tied for first in the NL Wild Card race at 33-28. Nootbaar, feeling the nerves of Opening Day before settling in like a seasoned pro, brings much-needed power to a lineup brimming with young talent like Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson, backed by solid pitching—making a deep playoff run look very possible.
