Cards activate Iván Herrera from 10-day injured list, place Lars Nootbaar on IL
In a corresponding move, the Cardinals placed outfielder Lars Nootbaar on the 10-day IL with a left rib injury.
Herrera hasn't appeared in the lineup since June 19 when he strained his hamstring rounding first base after a hit in the first game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox.
Herrera, who missed time earlier this season with a knee issue, is hitting .320 with eight homers and 36 RBIs. He has played in 42 games this year.
He was in the lineup Sunday as the designated hitter.
Nootbaar left Saturday's game in the sixth inning and did not return.
Nootbaar has battled rib pain and an intercostal strain for several weeks. He is batting .227 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs.

British and Irish Lions add 3 Scottish players to the squad in Australia
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Scottish players Rory Sutherland, Ewan Ashman and Darcy Graham have been drafted into the British and Irish Lions squad ahead of the three-test rugby series against Australia. The Lions are 5-0 on their Australian tour ahead of the first test against the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday. The extra reinforcements announced by the Lions on Monday take the squad to 44, adding cover for next week's tour game against a First Nations and Pasifika lineup in Melbourne — the only remaining game on the itinerary that isn't a full international. Prop Sutherland, who played six games including two tests for the Lions four years ago, hooker Ashman and winger Graham were all on tour with Scotland in New Zealand. Graham was due to arrive in Brisbane on Monday, with Sutherland and Graham arriving on the weekend. Head coach Andy Farrell named a 38-man squad in May but has added his son, England veteran Owen Farrell, as well as fullback Jamie Osborne, hooker Jamie George and prop Tom Clarkson to the squad to cover injuries.
