Cardinals outfielder Nootbaar returning from IL

MLB

The St. Louis Cardinals reinstated outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the 10-day injured list Monday.

He has been out since sustaining a lower back contusion when he crashed into the outfield fence on May 29.

Nootbaar, 25, went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBIs on Sunday in his final rehab game for Triple-A Memphis.

He is batting .266 with four homers and 21 RBIs in 42 games in the majors this season.

The Cardinals optioned first baseman Luken Baker to Memphis in a corresponding transaction.

Baker, 25, made his MLB debut on June 4 and went 4-for-14 with five strikeouts in four games.
