Manuel Margot News
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. Margot has been dealing with the hamstring injury for about a week now, but he managed to play through the injury on Friday and Saturday, filling in as the team's designated hitter. 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.
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. Get Margot back into your starting lineups in season-long leagues.
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.

Manuel Margot disappointed during the 2020 regular season with one homer and 11 RBI in 47 games, but he boosted his appeal some more in the playoffs, when he had five homers, 11 RBI and two steals in 19 games. Seeing the power return after he hit one homer during the regular season was highly encouraging. The speed was certainly there, with 12 steals in just 47 games, and the BA improved to .269 from .234 the year before. The Launch Angle dipped significantly last year during the regular season, from 14.2 to 7.5. The Exit Velocity (89.4) and Barrel% (4.1) did not impress, and the xBA was just .255. In 2019, Margot was in the Bottom 5% of the league in xSLG and xWOBA, and he did improve a bit in those regards. All those factors pointed to an approach that just did not seem to work during the regular season, but he was simply a different hitter during the playoffs, and you can be optimistic about some respectable overall production for 2021. There is a good chance that you can get the dozen or so homers you did in 2019, and the speed contributions can be quite helpful. Margot should hit fifth for the Rays, so he just has to show more of his postseason form to maintain a key spot in the lineup. Margot could be a value at an ADP of 260 for a late combination of power and speed.
