2024 Fantasy Outlook
Margot's .264/.310/.376 slash line from last season looks similar to his 2022 line, but it resulted in a 12-point drop in his wRC+ (to a below-average 93) since offense was up league-wide. The veteran outfielder hit just four home runs with 38 RBI, 39 runs and nine stolen bases in 99 games, and his minus-three DRS was the worst mark of his career. Margot missed a month due to elbow surgery, and it's the second straight year he had a sizable absence due to injury. The defense seems likely to rebound since he's only just entering his age-29 campaign, but the upside is limited given his underwhelming power and speed production over the past two seasons (eight homers and 16 steals). At best he's likely to provide a decent average and reach double-digit steals while working in a reserve role. He was traded to the Dodgers from the Rays and then to the Twins in the offseason. he'll look to find a right-handed platoon role and be a back up to oft-injured Byron Buxton in center field.

On base twice batting leadoff
Margot batted in the leadoff spot and went 1-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's win over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
After a slow start to the season (.468 OPS through May 17), Margot is finally showing some signs of progress at the plate. He's 8-for-23 from May 18 through Thursday with two walks. He could get more at-bats as a righty platoon bat in left field as a result.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot in jeopardy?
Brandon Warne of Access Twins indicated Margot could be in danger of being designated for assignment.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder batted leadoff in Tuesday's win over the Royals and went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run, which boosted his season slash line to .208/.264/.267 through 47 contests. Margot doesn't have a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching, and he could lose out on a roster spot when Royce Lewis returns from his quadriceps injury, which will put Minnesota's lineup back at full strength.

Margot started the season on fire, slashing .348/.412/.500 through 27 games before being put on the IL with a hamstring strain. After a short stay, Margot returned and posted a .256/.316/.344 over his next 24 games, then returned to the IL with a serious knee sprain, costing him another two months. Margot finished the season .240/.276/.318 in 38 games. All told, Margot put together a 106 wRC+ season, his first ever above average but it was clearly driven by an unsustainable start. For the first time since becoming a regular, Margot failed to register double-digit steals, likely due to two injuries to his lower half since five of his seven pilfers came during the first part of the season. As a righthanded hitter, Margot is always a candidate for a platoon, but his strong defense always leads to more playing time. Despite the odd course of last season, Margot is the same player, with some added health risk.
