Cardinals Announce Injury News After Loss to Braves

Cardinals Announce Injury News After Loss to Braves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At 50–46, the St. Louis Cardinals sit in third place in a highly competitive National League Central race. After a solid start to the year, the club has dropped seven of its last ten games, hampered largely by nagging injuries to key contributors such as third baseman Nolan Arenado and first baseman Willson Contreras. Advertisement Following Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis announced that outfielder Lars Nootbaar was placed on the 10-day injured list with left rib pain after he left the game early, clearing a roster spot for catcher Ivan Herrera's return. Nootbaar also exited the series finale against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. After attempting to play through the discomfort, the 27-year-old admitted the pain persisted, prompting the Cardinals to shut him down before the All-Star break. An eighth-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, Nootbaar debuted with St. Louis in 2021 and has been a reliable run producer ever since, posting an OPS near .800 in each of his last three seasons. Advertisement This year, in 88 games, his bat has cooled considerably. He's batting .227 with a .712 OPS—career lows for a player who once provided consistent production. When he eventually rejoins the lineup, Nootbaar will aim to recapture his prior form and, just as importantly, stay healthy down the stretch.

As St. Louis fights for a postseason spot, Nootbaar's return and steady production will be essential to keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About Ownership Plans for Minnesota Lynx

Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About Ownership Plans for Minnesota Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With his ownership team's purchase of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore also will have their hands involved in the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. Rodriguez, who made a name for himself in the MLB world, has been involved in getting him and Lore in position to become owners of both pro sports organizations. Advertisement While Rodriguez might see a need to have more of a hands-on approach with the Timberwolves, that's not the case with the Lynx. The Timberwolves are still seeking their first NBA title while the Lynx have racked up four WNBA crowns with head coach Cheryl Reeve at the helm. Rodriguez, in an interview with The Athletic, talked about plans and strategy for running the Lynx operations. He and Lore have been owners-in-waiting for a period of time. Now, the shackles have been taken off of them, so to speak. 'Cheryl's done an incredible job,' Rodriguez said. 'I mean, she's really built a dynasty there. So our job is to give her budgets and let her run as fast as she can.' Advertisement Getting more fans interested in Lynx, Timberwolves at same time might deserve focus from Rodriguez, Lore One area of focus that Rodriguez and Lore might look at is improving overlap attention between Timberwolves and Lynx fans. According to The Athletic story, there's only a nine percent overlap in following how both teams are performing on the court. 'With the W, it's been running full speed ahead,' Rodriguez said. 'So our job is to really kind of just get out of the way. Then the business is gonna have a lot more of our hands. "We're gonna roll up our sleeves, hire a CEO, bring in a person that Marc and I feel has the same capability as (Timberwolves president of basketball operations) Tim (Connelly), so we can copy and paste what we've done in basketball and do it in business, and then we should be off to the races.' Advertisement It's been a banner season for the Lynx, who are 19-4 at this time. Reeve keeps pushing the right buttons for her team and Napheesa Collier is in position to pick up a WNBA MVP award at season's end. When looking at the WNBA franchise at this point, it's hard to find too many weaknesses on the team. 'We're very excited about this year right now, where we have an opportunity to win a title,' Rodriguez said. 'Napheesa Collier is a front-runner to be MVP, and we have a fan base that's been embedded there for years and years with four titles. Cheryl has been there for about 16 years, and she's one of one. She's a Hall of Famer. She's a proven winner.' Rodriguez and Lore don't expect to be sitting on their hands with the Lynx. They'll look to make sure, as owners, that the team has what it needs to compete now and into the future.
