The Tigers released Margot on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Margot put up a .616 OPS in six games earlier this season with the Tigers and had struggled to a .211/.299/.266 slash line in 37 contests at Triple-A Toledo. The 30-year-old will look to latch on with a new organization that's seeking outfield depth.

The Tigers reinstated Margot (knee) from the injured list Wednesday and outrighted him to Triple-A Toledo.
EDGE Analysis
Margot has been out since mid-April due to a strained patellar tendon in his left knee. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on April 29, and has gone 4-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored in five games. Now fully healthy, he'll remain in the Tigers' farm system but lose his spot on the 40-man roster.

Margot (knee) participated in sprint drills Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot was diagnosed with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee last week, which caused him to be placed on the 10-day injured list April 8. He appears to be making progress in his recovery, but he may need a rehab assignment before being activated from the IL. Prior to his injury, Margot went 6-for-20 with one run scored and three RBI.

Margot was diagnosed with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot injured his knee in Monday's win over the Yankees and was placed on the injured list Tuesday. It's still unclear if he will end up spending more than the 10-day minimum on the IL, though a return timeline should emerge as he progresses further in his rehab program.

The Tigers placed Margot on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Margot sustained the knee injury in Monday's 6-2 win over the Yankees and was diagnosed with inflammation after undergoing further evaluation. The 30-year-old had been limited to a short-side platoon role this season, but his move to the IL represents another blow to the Tigers' outfield depth. Brewer Hicklen was called up from Triple-A Toledo to replace Margot on the active roster.

Margot went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Less than a week after signing with Detroit, Margot started in right field and batted fifth on Opening Day. Southpaw Blake Snell was on the bump for Los Angeles, which led to Kerry Carpenter riding the pine. Against righties, the Tigers figure to deploy Carpenter and likely sit Margot, depending on who fills the DH spot. The team is also waiting on Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) to return to the outfield. For now, the veteran Margot has some short-term fantasy value in deeper formats, although he's only been a middling offensive contributor in recent seasons.

Tigers president of baseball operation Scott Harris indicated Monday that he views Margot as more of a corner outfielder, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers' outfield, and particularly center field, has been hit hard by injuries, with Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) going down. While Margot is capable of handling center field, it would appear he's more likely to see action in right field for the Tigers.

The Tigers have signed Margot to a contract, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, the contract is a major-league deal. Margot was released by Milwaukee on Saturday but will now have the chance to work in a reserve role in the American League. The move gives Detroit a reinforcement in the outfield, with Parker Meadows (arm) and Matt Vierling (shoulder) both set to begin the season on the injured list.

Margot was released by the Brewers on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Margot was competing for a reserve role in the Brewers' outfield. He had only a .689 OPS across 32 at-bats in Cactus League action and will look to latch on to another opportunity around the league.
