Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar on bench Wednesday afternoon
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's game against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Nootbaar started the last nine games for St. Louis, but his playing time is likely going to be reduced down the stretch now that Dylan Carlson (wrist) is back from the injured list. Carlson, Harrison Bader, and Tommy Edman are starting across the Cardinals' outfield on Wednesday afternoon. Tyler O'Neill is considered day-to-day with a stiff back.
numberFire’s models project Carlson for 9.7 FanDuel points and he has a $3,100 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals are currently one of only three teams on the All Day slate with an implied total above 5.0 runs. Skubal is registering a 25.6 strikeout percentage and a 7.8 walk percentage this season, with a 5.40 xERA and a .350 xwOBA.
