Herrera’s Back—But Nootbaar Hits the IL

Redbird Nation, big shakeup today: Ivan “The Bat” Herrera is back in the lineup earlier than expected, but it comes at the cost of Lars “Noot” Nootbaar landing on the IL with a rib injury. The Cards’ offense has really missed Herrera’s spark since he went down, so his return as a DH could be a game-changer. Meanwhile, Noot’s first IL stint this year is tough, but maybe the rest helps him bounce back for the stretch run. Thoughts on Herrera’s future as a DH or outfielder? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards
