The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that a young star player will begin a rehab assignment after spending nearly a month on the injured list.
The St. Louis Cardinals have managed to compete despite being faced with a plethora of injuries but fortunately, they should have a vital part of their roster back soon."Injury Update: outfielder Lars Nootbaar will begin an injury rehab assignment tonight in Springfield," the Cardinals announced Friday afternoon.
Nootbaar was sidelined after suffering an oblique strain from a checked swing on May 29 in a 5-3 victory against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds. The 26-year-old is projected to play five innings in the field on Friday for Double-A Springfield and will ramp it up depending on how comfortable he feels. Nootbaar will likely spend multiple games in the minors to work on his timing at the plate and get his body back in shape to return to St. Louis.
The young outfielder has missed a considerable amount of time this season due to injuries -- the first being a left rib contusion right before Opening Day. Nonetheless,It will be great to have Nootbaar back in the lineup to help further strengthen the Cardinals' efforts to establish themselves as legitimate playoff contenders.Nate Hagerty joined “Inside The Cardinals” as a content creator to spread knowledge about his favorite childhood team.
