Unable to swing without discomfort
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Monday that Nootbaar has not been able to swing a bat without feeling discomfort in his left ribcage, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
The team had hoped Nootbaar would be ready to begin a hitting progression Monday, but it appears the outfielder is not ready for that yet. A timetable for Nootbaar's return won't become clear until he's able to ramp things up without pain. Nootbaar landed on the 10-day injured list just over a week ago with a left costochondral sprain, an injury which had kept him in and out of the lineup since late June.

Hopes to resume hitting Monday
The Cardinals hope Nootbaar (ribs) will be ready to begin a hitting progression as soon as Monday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analysis
Nootbaar landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left costochondral sprain, an injury which had kept him in and out of the lineup since late June. The outfielder will be eligible for activation July 23, but it sounds unlikely that he will be ready on that date. With Nootbaar shelved, the Cardinals had Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker in the corner outfield spots in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
