Cardinals News
The St. Louis Cardinals are making moves as they prepare to activate Lars Nootbaar from the injured list ahead of Friday's matchup against the Reds, hoping his return can spark a struggling offense that's managed just two wins in their last seven games. Meanwhile, Joshua Baez is proving to be a force in the minors, raising eyebrows with his impressive power surge and potentially forcing the Cardinals' hand for a big league call-up. On the field, the team’s recent form remains concerning, highlighted by a disappointing 4-7 loss to the Texas Rangers where they blew a late lead. With a -11 run differential over the past week, it’s clear that the Cardinals need more than just nostalgic bobblehead promotions and playful 'tarps off' antics to regain their footing in the division. Can Nootbaar and Baez be the catalysts this lineup desperately needs?
