Tue Mar 2617:18Manuel Margot Suffers Hand Contusion Tuesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Manuel Margot (hand) was hit by a pitch during an exhibition game on Tuesday versus the Atlanta Braves and departed early with a left-hand contusion. However, the Twins expect him to be fine for Opening Day on Thursday. The 29-year-old was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Twins this spring and is projected to open the 2024 regular season as a fourth outfielder in Minnesota, which leaves him very little fantasy value in AL-only leagues. The Dominican outfielder spent the last four seasons playing for the Tampa Bay Rays and slashed .264/.317/.375 with 19 home runs, 153 RBI, 41 stolen bases and 149 runs scored in 360 total regular-season games. You can avoid Margot in mixed fantasy leagues in 2024.

Mon Feb 2614:59Dodgers Trade Manuel Margot To The Twins
The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded outfielder Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for shortstop Noah Miller. At this time, it's unclear who the Dodgers have received in return. It was certainly a short tenure for Margot in the Dodgers organization after the club acquired him as part of the trade that also landed them right-hander Tyler Glasnow on Dec. 15. The veteran hit .264 with four home runs and nine stolen bases in a platoon role in Tampa Bay last season, appearing in just 99 games and fewer than 100 contests for the second straight season. He could be deployed similarly with the Twins in 2024 as he should take over right field from the lefty-swinging Max Kepler versus left-handed pitching.

Thu Nov 16 202314:16Manuel Margot Being Eyed By Yankees, Mets
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot is being discussed in trade talks with the New York Yankees and New York Mets. It was recently reported Margot was a strong trade candidate due to his $10 million salary for the 2024 season, a sum the low-budget Rays are likely wanting to avoid. The Yankees are in search of outfield help this offseason while the Mets will also look to add to their outfield mix after trading Mark Canha at last season's trade deadline. For his part, Margot hit .264 with four home runs and nine stolen bases across 99 games last season. His bat has performed below the league average in all but one of his eight seasons while he owns a career wRC+ of 90. He will likely stay off the fantasy radar again in 2024 barring a major turnaround at the plate.

Mon Nov 13 202314:52Manuel Margot Could Be On The Move
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot is being viewed as a top trade candidate for the club this offseason. The veteran is set to earn $10 million this season with a 2025 mutual option, making him a trade candidate for the low-budget Rays, a club in need of pitching. With Tyler Glasnow set to earn $25 million in the 2024 season, he is also being viewed as a strong trade candidate while Jeffrey Springs and Drew Rasmussen won't pitch in the first half of the season, making the Rays a club in search of pitching this offseason. For his part, Margot hit .264 with four homers and nine stolen bases across 99 games in 2023. His bat has long been below league average and with his defense slipping the last two seasons, Margot could very well suit up for another club in 2024.

Tue Aug 15 202316:12Rays Put Manuel Margot On 10-Day Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Manuel Margot (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with loose bodies in his right elbow and recalled infielder Jonathan Aranda from the minors in a corresponding move. Margot will have surgery to remove the loose bodies in his elbow on Wednesday, and the anticipated timeline for recovery is three to four weeks. As long as he doesn't encounter any setbacks along the way, the 28-year-old should return to the Rays at some point in mid-September. In the meantime, it should mean more playing time for left-handed-hitting outfielders Luke Raley and Josh Lowe. Margot has done very little for fantasy managers in 2023, as he's hitting .249/.300/.354 with only three home runs, 30 RBI, eight stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 85 games played in his fourth year in Tampa.

Mon Aug 22 202215:05Manuel Margot Not Starting Monday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot isn't in the team's lineup on Monday. The Rays will take on the Los Angeles Angels and left-handed starter Tucker Davidson but will do so with Margot on the bench. The veteran is hitting .295 with a .356 on-base percentage, three home runs, and five stolen bases in 208 plate appearances this season. Instead, the Rays will go with David Peralta, Jose Siri, and Randy Arozarena from left to right against the Angels.

Sat Aug 20 202212:00Rays Reinstate Manuel Margot From Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated outfielder Manuel Margot (knee) from the 60-day injured list on Saturday. In corresponding roster moves, the team placed outfielder Roman Quinn (knee) on the 10-day injured list and designated right-hander Ralph Garza Jr. for assignment. Margot was away from the team for two months with a right patellar tendon strain in his knee, but he should be back in Saturday's lineup against Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. The 27-year-old Dominican will return to a strong .302/.365/.423 slash line with three home runs, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases in 51 games. If Margot is available on your league's waiver wire, scoop him up immediately.

Sat Aug 13 202212:19Manuel Margot To Begin Playing At Triple-A
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (knee) has been playing at the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. However, it appears that Margot is ready for some higher-competition during his rehab assignment. The fact he's being moved up to a higher level is a great sign. The right-handed slugger is eligible to return as early as August 20. Margot was hitting .320/.365/.423 with three homers, 27 RBI and five stolen bases before the injury. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him as he progresses through his rehab assignment.

Tue Aug 9 202216:12Manuel Margot Begins Rehab Assignment Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (knee) will serve as the designated hitter on Tuesday to begin his minor league rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League. Margot is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list on Aug. 20. The 27-year-old has been out of action since June 20 due to a right knee sprain, but he's nearing a return to the major league club. Once he's ready to return, he should see an everyday role in Tampa's outfield now that Kevin Kiermaier (hip) is done for the rest of the year. Harold Ramirez (thumb) is also on the injured list. Margot was having one of his best seasons before his injury, slashing .302/.365/.423 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases in 51 games, so he warrants a pickup if he's available on your league's waiver wire.

Fri Jun 24 202214:07Manuel Margot May Avoid Surgery
Tampa Bay Rays skipper Kevin Cash said that outfielder Manuel Margot's right knee issue is with the patellar tendon and not his ACL. The team continues to gather information, but from what they've heard, they're "trending toward being optimistic" that Margot won't need surgery. It's good news, but the 27-year-old is on the 60-day injured list and will still miss at least two months after crashing into the outfield wall earlier this week. He had become a must-start fantasy asset this year, too, as Margot was hitting .302/.365/.423 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases in 182 at-bats before the injury. With both Margot and Kevin Kiermaier sidelined, Josh Lowe and Vidal Brujan should be in the Rays lineup mostly every day moving forward.

Thu Jun 23 202214:47Manuel Margot Moves To 60-Day Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays transferred outfielder Manuel Margot (knee) to the 60-day injured list on Thursday to make room for right-hander David McKay, who they acquired from the New York Yankees in exchange for cash considerations. McKay will report to Triple-A Durham. Margot was carted off the field on Monday after he suffered a right knee sprain while crashing into the outfield fence against the New York Yankees. The 27-year-old is set to miss at least two months, and it's a tough break for the Rays and fantasy managers, as he was hitting .302/.365/.423 with three home runs, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases in 200 plate appearances over 51 games before his injury. With Kevin Kiermaier also on the shelf, Josh Lowe and Vidal Brujan should be playing every day in Tampa moving forward.

Fri Jun 17 202214:42Manuel Margot, Kevin Kiermaier Out Friday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Manuel Margot and Kevin Kiermaier (Achilles) are not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Margot will get a normal day off in the series opener. The 27-year-old has been hot all year and is slashing .310/.373/.435 with an .807 OPS, three home runs, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases in 185 plate appearances. Kiermaier hasn't played since being pulled from Wednesday's game with left Achilles inflammation. Kiermaier has seven long balls and five steals on the year, but it has come with a weak .225 average and .264 on-base percentage. Harold Ramirez is in right field and hitting fifth, while Brett Phillips is in center field and is batting sixth on Friday against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer.

Mon May 30 202218:09Manuel Margot Getting A Breather
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Texas Rangers. Margot is getting a little breather after starting in each of the team's last five games. He continues to swing a hot bat and is now slashing .339/.395/.486 with an .881 OPS, three home runs, 23 RBI, 10 runs scored and five stolen bases in 109 at-bats over 32 games. When he's in the lineup, fantasy managers need to continue riding his hot stick. Brett Phillips is in center field and is batting seventh on Monday, while Vidal Brujan is playing right field and hitting ninth against Rangers right-hander Glenn Otto. Center fielder Kevin Kiermaier is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff for the Rays.

Wed May 25 202213:44Manuel Margot Activated From Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays activated outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned right-hander Dusten Knight to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Margot has been out since May 15 with a right hamstring strain, but he should return to the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against Miami Marlins right-hander Cody Poteet. Fantasy managers will want to follow suit, as Margot is hitting .348/.412/.500 with a .912 OPS, three home runs, 21 RBI, 10 runs scored and five stolen bases in 27 games this season. Brett Phillips will likely be the one who is hurt the most in terms of playing time with Margot back on the active MLB roster.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right hamstring strain. Relief pitcher Ralph Garza Jr. was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The 27-year-old is off to a hot start to the 2022 season, slashing .348/.412/.500 with five stolen bases over 27 games. We could see Vidal Brujan and Brett Phillips earn increased playing time with Margot out. Both players are in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Fri May 13 202215:00Manuel Margot Back In Lineup Friday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) is back in the lineup as the designated hitter and is batting third on Friday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Margot missed two games this week with right hamstring discomfort, but he's back on Friday as the DH. Harold Ramirez is in right for the Rays and is hitting fifth in the lineup. Margot is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak in which he's batting .484 with three home runs, a triple, two doubles, 13 RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases, so his fantasy managers are hoping he can pick up right where he left off.

Wed May 11 202218:45Manuel Margot Remains Out On Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) will remain out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Manager Kevin Cash mentioned that Margot is improving, but they'll hold him out for one more game. The expectation is that Margot will return to the starting lineup on Friday. The Rays are off on Thursday, so Margot will get an extra day of rest. Brett Phillips will cover right field and bat ninth versus righty Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday.

Tue May 10 202217:11Manuel Margot Out Of The Lineup Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Margot left the series opener against the Angels on Monday with right hamstring discomfort after sliding into second base. Prospect Vidal Brujan was recalled from the minors on Tuesday and will make the start in right field while hitting eighth on Tuesday against Angels left-hander Reid Detmers. Brujan has only two hits in his first 29 major league at-bats over the last two seasons, so he won't be a popular DFS plug-and-play this evening, especially while hitting low in the lineup. Margot should be considered day-to-day for now. He's hitting an excellent .337 with three home runs, 20 RBI, 10 runs scored and five stolen bases in 25 games early in the year.

Tue May 10 202200:37Manuel Margot Exits Monday's Game With Hamstring Discomfort
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) exited Monday's game against the Angels early with right hamstring discomfort, per Rays' reporter Tricia Whitaker. It remains to be seen how serious the injury is, but it is unfortunate in any event, as the 28-year-old is slashing .337/.400/.500 with three home runs, 20 RBI, and five stolen bases to start the season. Fantasy managers should be on the lookout for more updates regarding Margot's status over the next day.
