Twins' Manuel Margot: Returns from injured list
The Minnesota Twins activated Manuel 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: Shelved with groin strain
The Minnesota Twins placed Manuel 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.

Even with injuries beginning to pile up for the Twins with all of Carlos Correa (heel), Jose Miranda (back), Kyle Farmer (shoulder) and Royce Lewis (adductor) landing on the injured list within the past three weeks, Margot is still likely to see the majority of his playing time against left-handed pitching.
