The Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Aug. 4, were set to introduce outfielder Lars Nootbaar, whom they acquired in a trade-deadline deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.
In exchange for the 28-year-old left-handed-hitting Nootbaar, the Diamondbacks gave up Double-A pitchers Daniel Eagen and Sandro Santana along with a player to be named later.
Nootbaar is in the lineup as the designated hitter for Tuesday night's game, hitting sixth.
Nootbaar is hitting just .234/.333/.354 overall but has a .258/.354/.383 line against right-handers. In his career, he owns a .764 OPS with a .341 on-base against righties. His season started late after he underwent surgeries on both of his heels last offseason.
"He missed a lot of time, I know that," manager Torey Lovullo said a day earlier. "So hopefully he hasn't hit his stride yet. And when he comes here, he will."
