    • Plays outfield
      Garcia started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: This was Garcia's first start in the outfield since missing two games due to a forearm injury. He's gone 3-for-23 (.130) with a home run, a double and two RBI since his return. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
       
    • Lars Nootbaar returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Reds
      Lars Nootbaar (hamstring) is hitting second and playing right field against the Reds on Tuesday.

      Advice: Nootbaar was scratched from the lineup Sunday with tightness in his hamstring, but the outfielder looked fine in pre-game workouts and is ready to roll for the tilt against Cincinnati. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:52 am
       
    • Returns to lineup Tuesday
      Nootbaar (hamstring) will start in right field and bat second in Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

      Advice: Nootbaar missed two starts after tweaking his hamstring in Saturday's game against the Cubs, but he worked out prior to Monday's contest and is ready to roll Tuesday. The 26-year-old has a 1.096 OPS with two homers over his last eight games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 am
       
    • Takes part in light running Monday
      Nootbaar (hamstring) hit in the batting cage and did some light running prior to Monday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Nootbaar tweaked his hamstring while legging out a triple in Saturday's game against the Cubs and has since sat out the last two games. The outfielder told Denton that he should be ready to return to the lineup whenever the Cardinals give him the green light. The Cardinals are slated to face a left-hander starter Tuesday and have an off day Thursday, factors which could weigh into their decision as to when to reinsert Nootbaar into the lineup.

    • On bench for matinee
      Bader is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 29-year-old has a .281/.361/.391 slash line through 21 games in May and will sit for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Tyrone Taylor will instead start in center field, though Bader will likely rejoin the lineup for Game 2. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:46 am
       
    • Lars Nootbaar day-to-day with hamstring issue
      Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Lars Nootbaar is “day-to-day” with a hamstring strain.

      Advice: Marmol said that the team believed that keeping Nootbaar out of the lineup on Sunday and Monday is “the smart thing to do,” but they “don’t see it lingering.” That provides some optimism that Nootbaar could make it back in the middle of this week; however, hamstring injuries are known to linger so fantasy managers in weekly lineup lock leagues could decide to play it safe and sit Nootbaar this week.

    • Remains out Monday
      Nootbaar (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati.

      Advice: Nootbaar was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup due to a hamstring issue. With tough left-hander Nick Lodolo on the mound for the Reds on Monday, it makes sense to hold Nootbaar out again. Cincinnati does another another southpaw scheduled to start Tuesday in Andrew Abbott, so it's possible Nootbaar could remain out until Wednesday. For what it's worth, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday of Nootbaar's injury that "we don't see it lingering," per John Denton of MLB.com. Dylan Carlson will be in right field Monday.

    • Smacks 18th homer
      Tucker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the Athletics.

      Advice: The Astros scored all five of their runs in the fourth inning, and Tucker delivered the final blow with his 18th homer of the season. He's gone yard 11 times across 23 games in May, good for a 1.127 OPS. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:18 am
       
    • Drives in three
      Bader went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Sunday against the Giants.

      Advice: Bader tied the score twice, first in the second inning with an RBI single, then more importantly in the ninth inning when his double plated two to tie the game and helped set up the come-from-behind win for the struggling Mets. Through 45 games, Bader is now slashing .279/.329/.361 with two homers, six doubles, 16 RBI, 17 runs and eight steals over 155 plate appearances in his first season in Queens. This was Bader's first multi-hit game since May 19. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:59 pm
