## Resource

Lars Nootbaar is back in the St. Louis Cardinals lineup this Friday, ready to ignite their offense after a rehab stint. While the top four hitters have been solid, the bottom half—especially with runners in scoring position—has been a glaring weakness, costing the team key wins. Nootbaar, known for his patience and ability to get hits without striking out, could be the perfect upgrade in the fifth, seventh, or eighth spot. His modest but consistent performance in high-leverage situations offers hope for turning around a lineup that’s missed too many chances.
