Summary
The St. Louis Cardinals are activating outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the 60-day injured list for Friday's game against the Reds. Nootbaar will make his season debut after recovering from heel surgery performed last October. He has played 11 minor league rehab games, hitting .233 with two home runs. The Cardinals will need to make a corresponding active roster move, though they already have a 40-man roster opening after returning Rule 5 pick Matt Pushard to the Marlins.
