Diamondbacks land Lars Nootbaar to bolster lineup vs right-handed pitching

Arizona acquired outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals for pitching prospects Daniel Eagen and Sandro Santana plus a player to be named later, and cleared 40-man space by moving Zac Gallen to the 60-day IL. Nootbaar, 28, is a lefty with elite on-base skills and strong platoon splits, expected to boost Arizona’s performance versus right-handed pitching as it pursues an NL Wild Card spot. He will be a free agent after 2027. The D-backs’ deadline move comes amid injuries and a PED-suspension affecting other players like Max Kepler.

Padres Push for Left-Handed Bats as Deadline Approaches

The San Diego Padres are actively seeking a left-handed bat before the trade deadline, with reported discussions involving Trevor Larnach of Minnesota and potential targets Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar of St. Louis. They’ve already added left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray from the Giants but could use another reliable lefty in the lineup behind Ray and Michael King, with Gavin Sheets and rookie Jase Bowen in the mix in left field.

Arizona is reportedly acquiring Lars Nootbaar, triggering fan debate over what the Diamondbacks will give up and how the versatile outfielder fits into the lineup as they push for the postseason.

Cardinals Eye Trade Winds: May On the Move as Nootbaar Draws Interest

Cardinals Eye Trade Winds: May On the Move as Nootbaar Draws Interest

The Cardinals are reportedly shopping right-hander Dustin May ahead of the trade deadline, with the Rays and Phillies among clubs that sent scouts to his latest start; May has a 4.38 ERA over 109 innings but strong underlying metrics (FIP ~3.14, xFIP ~3.88, SIERA ~3.95) and a fastball near 97 mph, a profile built on durability after past injuries. St. Louis is also hearing heavy interest in outfielder Lars Nootbaar, who has drawn inquiries from the Phillies, Yankees and others; Nootbaar, 28, is under control at a $5.25M salary in 2026. With the Cardinals 15 games back in the NL Central and in playoff contention wobbling, a deal before Monday’s deadline seems likely for at least one of these players, while teams weigh him as more than a rental given his defense and upside.

"Cardinals' Concerns: Injuries, Delays, and Tough Updates"

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol provided updates on injured players, with outfielder Lars Nootbaar nearing a return after playing a full game in Triple-A. Nootbaar's return could bolster the team's outfield production, which has been hampered by injuries to Tommy Edman and Dylan Carlson. Edman and Carlson have not resumed baseball activities, but could receive clearance after upcoming check-ups. Additionally, right-hander Keynan Middleton received a PRP injection in his elbow and is expected to resume baseball activities soon, aiming to join the Cardinals' late-inning bullpen mix.

"Cardinals' Outfield Uncertainty: Nootbaar Sidelined with Rib Fractures"

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar has sustained two non-displaced fractures in his ribs, sidelining him for 10-14 days and casting doubt on his availability for opening day. With center fielder Tommy Edman also unlikely to be active on opening day, the Cardinals' outfield picture is becoming uncertain. Nootbaar's absence raises questions about the team's outfield alignment, as they had been planning for a consistent everyday lineup featuring Nootbaar in left field, Edman in center field, and Jordan Walker in right field.

Cardinals' Defensive Dilemma: Where Does Lars Nootbaar Fit In?

The St. Louis Cardinals could activate outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the injured list soon, creating a defensive conundrum for manager Oli Marmol. Meanwhile, Kansas City Royals left-hander Ryan Yarbrough is set to begin a rehab assignment after being struck in the face by a line drive earlier this year. The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting 2021 first overall pick Henry Davis to the majors, but will keep their current catching tandem of Austin Hedges and Jason Delay on the roster.

"Cardinals' Marmol faces tough decision on Nootbaar's defensive role"

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is considering different defensive looks for his team with the potential return of outfielder Lars Nootbaar. Nootbaar's return could mean shifting Tommy Edman back to an infield position, but Marmol is considering how to maximize his mix of fielders to stabilize their defense. The Cardinals have struggled defensively this season, and Marmol is using defensive metrics to assign each player to their best position. With Nootbaar's imminent return, Marmol has a day or two to consider options before making a call.
