Summary
Cardinals’ offense just got a major boost as Lars Nootbaar returns from injury, set to start left field and bat leadoff against the Reds. The 28-year-old, sidelined since October surgery, crushed a homer in his final rehab game and is primed to inject much-needed depth into a struggling lineup batting just .218 from fifth to ninth. With a career .242 average, 58 homers, and 194 RBIs, Nootbaar’s return could reignite the Cardinals’ offense and shake up their lineup dynamics.
