Cardinals' Lars Nootbaar: Back in action Monday

Nootbaar (cramps) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Marlins.

Nootbaar was forced out late in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees after dealing with some muscle cramping, but he was able to make enough progress overnight for the Cardinals to clear him to rejoin the lineup for the start of a three-game set in Miami. The 27-year-old had made each of his previous three starts in left field but will shift over to right Monday while Jordan Walker gets the evening off.
