The St. Louis Cardinals reinstated center fielder Lars Nootbaar from the 10-day injured list on Monday.
He has been out since sustaining a lower back contusion when he crashed into the outfield fence on May 29.
Nootbaar, 25, is batting .266 with four homers and 21 RBIs in 42 games.
The Cardinals optioned first baseman Luken Baker to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding transaction.
Baker, 25, made his MLB debut on June 4 and went 4-for-14 with five strikeouts in four games.
