RBI single in first rehab game Margot (hamstring) started and played seven innings in right field during Triple-A Durham's win over Charlotte on Thursday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI single.
Impact Margot delivered his timely knock in the bottom of the fifth inning for the Bulls and was apparently able to log his seven innings in the field without setbacks. The veteran outfielder is expected to suit up for at least a couple of more contests at Durham before activation is deemed appropriate.

Playing seven innings Thursday Margot (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Thursday and is set to play seven innings in right field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The fact that the Rays are comfortable having Margot play nearly an entire game in his first rehab contest suggests he likely won't be in Durham for long before returning from the 10-day injured list. Margot, who has been on the shelf since July 7, will likely push Kevin Kiermaier for an everyday role in the outfield alongside Austin Meadows and Randy Arozarena once he's reinstated.

Rehab assignment on tap Margot (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham Thursday or Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Margot didn't experience any issues after running the bases Tuesday, and he'll return to game action late this week as a result. The 26-year-old has been on the injured list since July 7, and it's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll need before he's cleared to rejoin the Rays.

Unlikely to return this week Margot (hamstring) is feeling better but isn't likely to return until at least next week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Margot resumed hitting off a tee last week and continues to feel good afterward. However, the Rays appear to be taking a cautious approach to prevent a setback, so he'll likely remain sidelined for at least another week. A better idea of his timetable to return could come into focus once he's able to ramp up his activity level.

Hitting off tee Margot (hamstring) has resumed hitting off a tee, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Manager Kevin Cash said during the All-Star break that Margot is "doing better," but the outfielder is still expected to be sidelined until at least late July. It's encouraging that the 25-year-old has resumed baseball activities, but a better idea of his return timetable could be revealed once he's able to increase his activity level.

Unlikely to return until late July The Rays don't anticipate that Margot (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list until at least the team's July 27 to 29 series with the Yankees, Marc Topkin...
Impact While manager Kevin Cash said that Margot is "doing better" in his recovery from the left hamstring strain he sustained July 5, the outfielder will need more than the minimum 10 days to fully heal. Margot's ongoing absence should help open up more playing time in the outfield for Kevin Kiermaier and Brett Phillips.

Placed on injured list Margot was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact The outfielder's move to the injured list comes as no surprise, as it was reported Tuesday that things were heading in that direction. Margot will become eligible to be reinstated when the club returns from the All-Star break July 16, but he underwent an MRI on Wednesday and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks, Solondz reports. Ryan Sherriff was recalled in a corresponding roster move.
