Not in Saturday's lineup Margot isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees due to a tweaked groin, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Impact Margot will be on the bench for a second straight game, and manager Kevin Cash revealed that the center fielder has been dealing with a groin issue in recent days. However, Margot will be available as a pinch hitter Saturday and is expected to return to the lineup Sunday with left-hander Jordan Montgomery starting for the Yankees. Brett Phillips will take over in center field Saturday, batting eighth.

Not starting Friday Margot is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact The 26-year-old is 6-for-20 with one homer, one triple, three runs and five RBI through six games this season, but he'll take a seat Friday with Brett Phillips (hamstring) coming off the injured list to start in center field. Margot should still see plenty of action going forward with Kevin Kiermaier (quadriceps) out for the next few weeks.

Knocks in two Margot went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact Margot gave the Rays an early lead with a two-out single that drove in two in the third inning. He's now recorded at least one hit in four of five games this season, though he's also struck out a combined four times across his last two games. Margot should have a clear path to playing time in the outfield in the absence of Kevin Kiermaier (quadriceps), who is expected to miss multiple weeks.

Remains hot Saturday Margot went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

Marte helps Marlins rally for 1st win, 12-7 over Rays

Starling Marte had four hits and the Miami Marlins beat the Tampa Bay Rays at home for the first time since 2018 with a 12-7 victory

Swats first homer of season Margot went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

Impact Getting the start in center field and hitting seventh, Margot took John Curtiss deep in the seventh inning, then tripled and scored on a Francisco Mejia sacrifice fly in the ninth to cap Tampa's wild comeback. The fact that Margot started over Kevin Kiermaier even with right-hander Pablo Lopez on the mound for Miami indicates the duo will not be used in a strict platoon this season, but both should see plenty of action.

Sitting on Opening Day Margot is not in the Rays' Opening Day lineup against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact With no designated hitter in the National League park, at least one Rays regular will have to sit for each of the team's first three games of the season. Margot will be the one to make way on this occasion, with Austin Meadows, Kevin Kiermaier and Randy Arozarena making up the Rays' outfield.

Continues spring tear Margot went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in a Grapefruit League loss to the Red Sox on Friday, pushing his spring average to .429 (6-for-14) across six games.

Impact Margot was also caught stealing on his one attempt Friday, but he already has a pair of swipes, two walks, two RBI, three doubles overall and a run during his exhibition sample. The early surge offers reason for optimism following Margot's impressive five-homer postseason last fall, and Adam Berry of MLB.com reports the 26-year-old had already come into spring camp with a confident mindset following a trying 2020. "I think this year, now that I've got one year under my belt with my teammates, I feel a lot more comfortable talking to [them]," Margot said. "I have more confidence in just being around my team."

Hitting well early Margot is 3-for-7 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run across his first three Grapefruit League games.

Impact The 26-year-old is penciled in as the starting right fielder and is off to a good start in building on the solid .269 average and .327 on-base percentage he mustered across 159 plate appearances in his 2020 Rays debut campaign. Margot did see a power drain, however, hitting just one home run after slugging 12 in 441 plate appearances during his final Padres season in 2019. An above-average contact hitter who's also recorded double-digit steals in four consecutive seasons, Margot could reestablish himself as a more well-rounded fantasy contributor this season if he pulls his power numbers back up.
