The St. Louis Cardinals have spent weeks searching for answers. Now, one of their most important players is on the verge of returning.
After completing the final day of his rehab ****** ignment with Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Lars Nootbaar is expected to rejoin the Cardinals on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The timing couldn't be much better for a club that has repeatedly struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities and has watched its offense leave runners stranded at an alarming rate.
And if Nootbaar's final rehab game was any indication, he may be arriving just in time to change the entire conversation around this lineup.
The Cardinals wanted to see Nootbaar handle back-to-back games and play full defensive workloads before activating him. He responded by doing much more than that.
