Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Nootbaar had started each of the Cardinals' last five contests, going 5-for-18 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs and a 4:5 BB:K. Though the lefty hitter appears to have settled back into a groove at the plate, he'll still get held out against select southpaws. Nootbaar will give up his spot in the outfield to Jordan Walker on Sunday with Andrew Abbott on the hill.
