Lars Nootbaar Taking a Seat Wednesday
Lars Nootbaar will not be in the team's lineup when they host the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. It's a routine day off for the California native, who has appeared in all but two contests this season. Brendan Donovan will man left field in his place, with Nolan Gorman covering second base and shortstop Masyn Winn batting leadoff. Nootbaar has been solid in 2025, slashing .251/.356/.414 with seven home runs, ten doubles, 31 runs scored, 25 RBI, and four steals. At this pace, he has an excellent chance to set career-highs across the board and has once again cut his strikeout rate (16.4%). Not much has changed regarding quality contact for him, but an increased launch angle could explain his uptick in power.
