March 28, 2025 9:41 AM : Margot went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Analysis: Less than a week after signing with Detroit, Margot started in right field and batted fifth on Opening Day. Southpaw Blake Snell was on the bump for Los Angeles, which led to Kerry Carpenter riding the pine. Against righties, the Tigers figure to deploy Carpenter and likely sit Margot, depending on who fills the DH spot. The team is also waiting on Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) to return to the outfield. For now, the veteran Margot has some short-term fantasy value in deeper formats, although he's only been a middling offensive contributor in recent seasons.
