Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Nootbaar started in center field against left-hander Justin Steele in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs, but he'll hit the bench Monday as the Cardinals match up against another southpaw (Sean Manaea). The freshly recalled Victor Scott will pick up the start in center Monday and will be flanked by Tommy Pham in left field and Alec Burleson in right field.
