Lars Nootbaar (hamstring) scratched for Cardinals on Sunday; Matt Carpenter enters
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar has been removed from the lineup Sunday for the team's game against the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means
Nootbaar was originally slated to serve as the designated hitter Sunday, hitting second in the order versus Cubs starter Javier Assad. However, he has been scratched due to hamstring tightness. Now, it'll be Matt Carpenter who enters.
In 155 plate appearances this season, Nootbaar has a .227 batting average with a .747 OPS.
