Out of lineup again Wednesday
Nootbaar is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.
Analysis
Nootbaar was out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday in Milwaukee as he battles through a slump at the plate. He returned to action Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, and now finds himself back on the bench Wednesday. The Cardinals will turn to Brendan Donovan in left field and Nolan Gorman at second base.

Demoted to seventh amidst slump
Nootbaar will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.
Analysis
Each of Nootbaar's first 66 starts this season came from the leadoff spot. However, he's mired in a 1-for-32 slump with 17 strikeouts, prompting a move down to the lower third of the batting order after he was out of the lineup altogether the previous two games. Brendan Donovan is hitting leadoff for the second straight contest Tuesday.

Set to rejoin lineup Tuesday
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said he expects Nootbaar to rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "Just meet-us-in-Chicago-type thing," Marmol said. "Take a breather and let's get back on track. He'll find his way out of this."
Analysis
Before sitting Saturday and Sunday, Nootbaar had gone 1-for-27 with 15 strikeouts -- including the first two four-strikeout games of his career -- over the previous six games, all Cardinals losses. Marmol is hoping that with two days out of the lineup plus Monday's off day, Nootbaar will be ready to reclaim the starting job in left field, though it's less certain if he'll resume leadoff duties right away. Brendan Donovan (toe) will serve as the Cardinals' table setter Sunday in his own return from a four-game absence.

Day off amidst struggles
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that Nootbaar will not be in the lineup Saturday in Milwaukee, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
For the second time in three games, Nootbaar went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Friday. Across the last five contests, Nootbaar is 0-for-23 with 13 strikeouts, dropping his season OPS below .700 (.690) for the first time this season. Marmol indicated that he is considering moving Nootbaar out of the leadoff spot for a while, although he didn't commit to it.
