Cardinals Announce Injury News After Loss to Braves
Cardinals Announce Injury News After Loss to Braves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At 50–46, the St. Louis Cardinals sit in third place in a highly competitive National League Central race. After a solid start to the year, the club has dropped seven of its last ten games, hampered largely by nagging injuries to key contributors such as third baseman Nolan Arenado and first baseman Willson Contreras. Advertisement Following Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis announced that outfielder Lars Nootbaar was placed on the 10-day injured list with left rib pain after he left the game early, clearing a roster spot for catcher Ivan Herrera's return. Nootbaar also exited the series finale against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. After attempting to play through the discomfort, the 27-year-old admitted the pain persisted, prompting the Cardinals to shut him down before the All-Star break. An eighth-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, Nootbaar debuted with St. Louis in 2021 and has been a reliable run producer ever since, posting an OPS near .800 in each of his last three seasons. Advertisement This year, in 88 games, his bat has cooled considerably. He's batting .227 with a .712 OPS—career lows for a player who once provided consistent production. When he eventually rejoins the lineup, Nootbaar will aim to recapture his prior form and, just as importantly, stay healthy down the stretch.

As St. Louis fights for a postseason spot, Nootbaar's return and steady production will be essential to keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Cards activate Iván Herrera from 10-day injured list, place Lars Nootbaar on IL
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals activated Iván Herrera from the 10-day injured list on Sunday before the series finale against the Atlanta Braves. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals placed outfielder Lars Nootbaar on the 10-day IL with a left rib injury.

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.
