Sitting again versus southpaw
Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.
Analysis
The Diamondbacks have faced two lefties since the trade deadline and the left-handed-hitting Nootbaar has been out of the lineup both times. Tyler Locklear is in the designated hitter slot and Ryan Waldschmidt will play left field for Arizona.

Bats leadoff Tuesday
Nootbaar batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss Colorado.
Analysis
Nootbaar filled in at leadoff for the injured Geraldo Perdomo (knee), whose injury does not sound serious, per comments from manager Torey Lovullo in a report from Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Since joining the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, Nootbaar is 3-for-23 (.130) with five walks, one double, one RBI and two runs scored over seven games.
August 9, 2026
Out of Sunday's lineup
Nootbaar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
The veteran outfielder started all five games since being acquired from the Cardinals on Monday, but he'll hit the bench Sunday with lefty Justin Wrobleski taking the mound for Los Angeles. Nootbaar has opened his time with the Diamondbacks by going 3-for-17 with four walks, a double, one RBI and one run scored. He's unlikely to see significant action against left-handed pitching over the rest of the season.
