What happened: Play stopped for an injury delay during St. Louis' game with Lars Nootbaar involved, with the Cardinals trailing 0-1 in the bottom of the fifth. No further detail on the nature of the delay has been released.
Why it matters: It is the second such in-game injury delay tied to Nootbaar this season, following a similar stoppage in June. Any extended absence would matter for a Cardinals lineup already fielding trade-deadline speculation about its outfield mix.
By the numbers: Score: 0-1, bottom of the 5th inning at the time of the delay.
What to watch: Watch for word on whether play resumes with Nootbaar in the lineup and any postgame update from the Cardinals on his status.
