Detroit, Mich., June 22, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have selected rookie outfielder Lars Nootbaar (NOOT-bahr) from Memphis (AAA).  Outfielder Lane Thomas was optioned to Memphis (AAA) and left-handed pitcher Bernardo Flores, Jr., has been designated for assignment.

Nootbaar, 23, was the Cardinals eighth round selection (243^rd overall) out of the University of Southern California in 2018.  He was recently activated from the minor league 7-day injured list with a right hand injury that kept him out from May 28-June 13.

The left-handed slugger was batting .329 with five home runs and 17 RBI over 29 games in Memphis.  With 79 at-bats, Nootbaar does not qualify for the Triple-A East leaders, but would rank 4^th in batting and on-base percentage (.430).  Sporting a rifle arm in the outfield, in 2019 Nootbaar ranked T-2^nd among Cardinals minor league outfielders and T-7^th in all of Minor League Baseball with 16 assists.   This season, Nootbaar has appeared at all three outfield positions without committing an error in 44 total chances.

Thomas was batting .104 with two stolen bases and an RBI in 32 games in St. Louis.  Flores is 2-2 with a 5.74 ERA in 31.1 innings at Memphis.

Nootbaar has been assigned uniform No. 68 and will be active for tonight’s game in Detroit.

She then went on to open the scoring with a three-run homer over the center field fence. The Trojans added three more in the second and six in the third. Maleana Woodward ended it with a bases-loaded double that brought all three home. Engler finished with 7 strikeouts in the contest.

Game two started with the Trojans racking up 5 runs in the opening frame. They added 1 in the 2nd, four in the 3rd, and two more to seal it in the fourth. Caroline Pellett crossed home safely before a tag out at third to provide the final margin.

Atlantic Head Coach Terry Hinzmann was pleased with how the team carried over momentum from a strong weekend at the Fort Dodge tournament.

Olivia Engler said the good hitting night snowballed throughout the team.

Maleana Woodward thought confidence built through the lineup.

The Trojans improved to 23-5 on the season and will host Kuemper on Tuesday night. Glenwood falls to 6-15 on the year.
