Cardinals Activate Nootbaar From 60-Day IL
St. Louis returns a bat to lineup depth after extended absence, though the move comes as the team sits 31-28 and 3-7 over their last 10 games. Nootbaar's return addresses roster flexibility without addressing the rotation's struggles—five starters combining for a 4.27 ERA with xwOBA values ranging from 0.311 to 0.383.
