The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired left fielder Lars Nootbaar from the St. Louis Cardinals, per reporting from ESPN's Jorge Castillo and Alden Gonzalez. The trade comes as the D-backs look to bolster their roster before the deadline.
Nootbaar, 28, will slot into the left field position vacated by injured Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., according to MLB Trade Rumors. The left-handed hitter remains under team control through 2027, per CBS Sports.
The Cardinals made the move amid a tight National League wild-card race, though the reporting available does not specify what Arizona sent to St. Louis in return.
