Nootbaar went 0-for-1 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Pirates. He walked three times.

EDGE Analysis

Nootbaar was making his first appearance in the lineup since Opening Day after missing over two weeks due to a jammed left thumb. The 25-year-old outfielder will be in the mix for the Cardinals now that he's healthy, though the team's crowded outfield might lead to him seeing just a strong-side platoon role.
