Lars Nootbaar Injury: May be nursing rib injury

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that he had no medical update available on Nootbaar, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians after he appeared to tweak his rib on a check swing in Saturday's 9-6 win, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Nootbaar's absence from the lineup Sunday could have more to do with the fact that the Guardians are starting a lefty (Logan Allen) rather than an injury, but the outfielder's fantasy managers will nonetheless want to keep an eye on his status heading into the Cardinals' three-game series in Pittsburgh that begins Monday. Nootbaar, who had been nursing rib pain coming into Saturday, was able to finish out that contest.
