Margot will start in left field and bat leadoff in Monday's game against Atlanta.
Margot has found a home atop the lineup when the Twins face left-handed pitchers like Atlanta's Max Fried, but the outfielder's playing time remains more sporadic against right-handers. The 29-year-old hasn't done much to make a case for earning more work versus righties; he's slashing .210/.262/.290 over 150 plate appearances against them thus far in 2024.
