• Manuel Margot: Minnesota declines option

  10/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Twins have declined their side of Margot's $12 million mutual option for 2025, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports. He'll receive a $2 million buyout instead and hit the free-agent market. Margot, 30, slashed only .238/.289/.337 with four home runs and five stolen bases over 129 contests during his lone season in Minnesota.

• Twins' Manuel Margot: Returns from injured list

  09/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Twins activated Margot (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Margot spent the minimum 10 days on the shelf while recovering from a mild right adductor strain. He did not play any rehab games, evidently showing enough in workouts to convince the Twins he was ready to rejoin the active roster. Margot is likely to fill a short-side platoon role in the outfield now that he's healthy again.

• Twins' Manuel Margot: Has mild adductor strain

  09/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Margot was diagnosed with a mild right adductor strain Monday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. The diagnosis is probably a best-case scenario, but a timetable for Margot's return won't be available at least until he's re-evaluated later this week after being shut down from the baseball activities for 5-to-7 days. Margot was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday and is eligible for activation Sept. 11.

• Twins' Manuel Margot: Shelved with groin strain

  09/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Twins placed Margot on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right groin strain. Margot underwent an MRI after suffering the groin injury in Saturday's 15-0 loss to the Blue Jays, but since the results of those tests haven't been made public, an exact timeline for the outfielder's return isn't known. The 29-year-old has cobbled together a mediocre .250/.302/.350 slash line with four home runs and five steals over 306 plate appearances while mostly serving as a short-side platoon player this season, so his upcoming absence shouldn't have many ramifications in fantasy baseball.
