Lars Nootbaar Evaluated for Potential Move to 60-Day Injured List

Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom announced Monday that Lars Nootbaar is being evaluated this week for a potential move to the 60-day injured list. Nootbaar continues to deal with persistent heel issues that have hampered his availability throughout the spring. A shift to the 60-day IL would signify a significant delay in his return to the St. Louis lineup and open a 40-man roster spot. The team is expected to provide a definitive update on his status following the evaluation.
