Not great. Nootbaar has been battling through an intercostal/ribs issue for the past few weeks. The 27-year-old outfielder, who finished Saturday’s contest 0-for-2 at the plate, will presumably undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. It’s possible he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. There should be an update on his status ahead of Sunday’s first-half finale.

He surrendered two homers and struck out just one. Still, this rates as his best outing in weeks, as he’d given up 17 runs over 10 innings in his previous three starts. He had a 3.54 ERA on June 19, but he’s finishing the first half at 4.83, and he’d have to turn it around immediately after the break in order to regain some trade value for the Cardinals.

A single, a sac bunt, another single and an RBI groundout was enough to scratch out a run against Helsley. It’s the first run he’s given up in seven appearances since June 14, and although he’s taken five blown saves this season, this is his first loss.

Gorman got the start today even though the Cardinals were facing a left-handed opener, and he actually hit homer off said opener, Aaron Bummer. He’s batting .182/.288/.386 in 52 plate appearances against lefties. That’s not a disaster, but the real problem is that he’s still only at .230/.316/.414 against righties; he needs to be better with the platoon advantage to justify his spot, especially since he’s not helping defensively.

A day after hitting a home run in San Francisco, Conforto came up big against the Giants, knocking three base hits on the day and scoring both runs for the Dodgers in their tight 2-1 victory. The 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .185/.299/.323 with eight homers, 36 runs scored, and 23 RBI over 304 plate appearances.

Happ has been shifted to the lower third of Cubs manager Craig Counsell’s lineup card after taking a seat during Friday’s showdown with lefty Carlos Rodón on the hill. It’s notable that Nico Hoerner is leading off against another lefty in Max Fried. Happ has been ice-cold at the dish in recent weeks, batting .119 (7-for-59) with one homer and 17 strikeouts over his last 15 games. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s back in the leadoff spot for Sunday’s first-half finale when righty Will Warren takes the ball for New York.

It was a breakout game for Langford, who hit a two-run home run off Ryan Gusto in the seventh inning. It was home run No. 15 for him on the season. The 23-year-old outfielder hasn’t had the breakout season many pegged for him preseason, but once again showed glimpses of that promise with four hits, a home run and a stolen base. Langford is hitting .246 with a .767 OPS and 38 RBI on the year.
