St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar left Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves after five innings Saturday due to left side discomfort.
The game was tied 3-3 when Nootbaar was replaced by Jose Fermin in left field to open the sixth. He finished 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
Nootbaar, 27, has battled rib pain and an intercostal strain for several weeks. The five-year pro is batting .227 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs.
