Lars Nootbaar (heels) being evaluated for 60-day IL placement

Nootbaar had offseason surgery on both heels and has yet to be cleared for full baseball activities, though his recovery has progressed well. Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Monday the team will evaluate him this week to determine whether a 60-day IL stint is necessary. (Derrick Goold)

Fantasy Impact:

St. Louis would prefer to avoid the 60-day IL, as it would keep Nootbaar ineligible until late May. Nathan Church, Thomas Saggese and Jose Fermin are expected to cover left field in his absence.
