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.

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.

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.

Margot left Saturday's loss to Toronto in the fifth inning due to a sore right groin and will have an MRI on Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. It sounds like Margot could be headed for the injured list as a result. The Twins will likely call up an outfielder when rosters expand Sunday.

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.
