2022 Fantasy Outlook
Margot is in the final year of team control before free agency, and has served as a perfect complement to the lefty-heavy outfield both as a platoon partner as well as a regular in the four-man rotation manager Kevin Cash employs to keep everyone fresh. On any other team, Margot would be the best defensive outfielder on the club, yet he is not even in the top two on his own club as the roster stands today. He has the ability to hit for contact and work counts, but otherwise lacks any elite offensive abilities. He has a perpetual green light to steal bases under Cash, but has converted just 68% of those chances with the breakeven point for achieving the benefit of steals at roughly 75%. A potential trade of Kevin Kiermaier would likely have no impact on Margot's plate appearances as such a move would be done to free up time for Vidal Brujan or Josh Lowe more than to turn Margot into something he is not, which is an everyday player.

Out with hamstring strain
Margot was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Sunday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
This couldn't have come at a worse time for Margot, who is in the midst of a potential career year. He is hitting .348 with a .348 xBA, three home runs, five steals and career-best marks in BB% (8.8) and K% (12.7). The Rays called up reliever Ralph Garza in a corresponding move, so Harold Ramirez and Vidal Brujan should see an uptick in playing time in the short term.

Stat Review
How does Manuel Margot compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Margot racked up 12 steals despite making just 37 starts during the short 2020 season. He spent time on the COVID-19 injured list, not because he contracted the virus but as a precaution after traveling to the Dominican Republic following the death of his father. Margot still ended up tying with Kevin Kiermaier for fifth-most PA on the team (159). While Margot only hit one homer during the regular season, he clubbed five HR in the postseason while slashing .276/.344/.552. He also made one of the best catches you'll ever see in the ALCS after grading out exceedingly well in terms of outfielder jump during the regular season. While Margot is never going to hit for a ton of power, he does enough else well to allow the speed play in most rotisserie leagues assuming he's getting the playing time. Everyday at-bats should not be expected, but Margot looks like he will have a significant role on the 2021 Rays.
