Fedde never settled into this one. Ian Happ took him deep on the first pitch of the game, then the Cubs rallied for three more in the second, Kyle Tucker hit a long home run to start the third, and he was pulled in the fourth with two runs already home and the bases loaded. Overall, he allowed 12 hard-hit balls while forcing just four swings-and-misses. It’s difficult to have a start much worse than this one. He’s scheduled to face the Pirates and these same Cubs in a two-start week coming up.

With the Cubs starting left-hander Shota Imanaga, Nootbaar will not be in the starting lineup. This is now the third straight game against a lefty where Nootbaar has been on the bench. With Thomas Saggese now on the active roster, the Cardinals can start him at second base against lefties and move Brendan Donovan to left field. A strong side platoon role would further diminish Nootbaar’s fantasy value in a year that has not quite gone according to plans.

Nootbaar will open Wednesday night’s showdown on the bench with crafty southpaw Matthew Boyd toeing the rubber at Busch Stadium. The 27-year-old outfielder has been in a groove at the dish recently, hitting .280 (7-for-25) with three homers over his last seven games. It’ll be Brendan Donovan heading out to cover left field in this one with talented rookie Thomas Saggese getting a chance at the keystone.
