It has been shared that the current hope is that he'll be ready to be activated on May 24. On Saturday, the Cardinals gave an update on Nootbaar that potentially fits this timeline. Cardinals manager Oli Marmol shared that the expectation is Nootbaar will begin a minor league rehab assignment the week of May 10, as shared on X by Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.

Cardinals will have 20 days from then to activate him assuming no setbacks, which puts his return ~June 1," Jones wrote.
