Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

He'll hit the bench for a fourth straight matchup against a left-handed starter (Logan Allen), and Nootbaar appears to have settled into a strong-side platoon role after slashing an unremarkable .215/.333/.308 in 126 plate appearances versus southpaws this season. With Alec Burleson also out of the lineup Sunday, the Cardinals will deploy a starting outfield of Brendan Donovan, Victor Scott and Garrett Hampson from left to right.
