Margot went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's loss against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Margot was a surprise lead-off hitter against a lefty starter, but began the game with a hit and later hit a home run. His spark at the top of the order could earn him more playing time in the short term with the rest of the Minnesota offense struggling.

Margot (hand) is will start at designated hitter and bat ninth in Thursday's season opener versus the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins acquired Margot to play against left-handed pitching, so it's no surprise he's in the starting nine against southpaw Cole Ragans. It's more surprising that Margot is serving as a DH and not playing the outfield, but that may just be a matter of caution after he exited Tuesday's exhibition game after being hit on the hand by a pitch.

Margot has been diagnosed with a left hand contusion and is expected to be fine for Opening Day, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot had to leave Tuesday's exhibition finale versus Atlanta when he was hit by a pitch, but he's managed to avoid a serious injury. The 29-year-old is expected to be an active fourth outfielder for the Twins this season.

Margot was removed from Tuesday's exhibition game versus Atlanta when he was hit on the left hand by a pitch, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot was struck by a Charlie Morton pitch in the fourth inning and exited after a brief conversation with the Twins' trainer. The club could just be exercising caution here, but Margot might be sent for testing as a precautionary measure.

The Twins acquired Margot, infielder Rayne Doncon and cash from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for Noah Miller, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time Margot has been traded this winter, as he went from the Rays to the Dodgers in December as part of the Tyler Glasnow deal. The 29-year-old Margot offers protection in center field for Byron Buxton and should draw a decent number of starts especially against left-handed pitching.

Margot was traded from Tampa Bay to the Dodgers along with Tyler Glasnow in exchange for Ryan Pepiot and Jonny DeLuca on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot has settled into being a slightly below league-average hitter, though he more than makes up for that with his defense. That will likely be enough for him to remain a regular in the Dodgers' outfield, though he could split time in a corner spot with the likes of Chris Taylor and Jason Heyward. Margot is under contract for 2024 with a mutual option in 2025.

Margot went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Margot's home run came in the fourth inning off Wes Parsons. It was his first home run in 43 games since June 15. The 28-year-old finished with at least a hit in nine of his last 10 games and finishes the regular season slashing .264/.310/.376 with four homers, 38 RBI, 39 runs, nine steals and an 18:55 BB:K in 336 plate appearances. He'll hold down a depth role in the outfield for the Rays' upcoming playoff run.

Margot went 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's victory over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
After a relatively quiet season, Margot's been hot down the stretch, going 11-for-22 (.500) with just two strikeouts in his last six games. Still, the 28-year-old outfielder hasn't offered much in the way of fantasy production -- his last homer came June 15 while he's stolen only a pair of bases in that 40-game span. Overall, Margot's slashing .264/.310/.369 with three homers, nine steals, 38 runs scored and 36 RBI across 319 plate appearances this season. He should continue to see regular playing time in the Rays' outfield to close out the year with Randy Arozarena (quadriceps) day-to-day and both Luke Raley (neck) and Jose Siri (hand) on the IL.

Margot went 2-for-4 with one double, two RBI and one steal in Thursday's 5-4 victory over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Margot faced Angels closer Carlos Estevez with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth and brought home Yandy Diaz with a bloop single to right. The Rays center fielder also managed to swipe his ninth base and crack his 20th double earlier in the game. Margot has produced a .256/.305/.367 slash line over 91 games.
