The Astros have interest in Cardinals left fielder Lars Nootbaar, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Nootbaar is hitting .241/.347/.366 in 45 games since returning from last year’s surgery to address Haglund’s deformities on both heels. St. Louis is still in a retool and could move Nootbaar to take a late-season look at power-hitting outfield prospect Joshua Baez. Rome reports that the Cardinals have placed a high asking price that might deter the Astros, but it’s possible that’ll come down in the next few days. Nootbaar is controllable through next season and playing on a $5.25MM arbitration salary.
