The Tigers released Margot on Tuesday. Margot put up a .616 OPS in six games earlier this season with the Tigers and had struggled to a .211/.299/.266 slash line in 37 contests at Triple-A Toledo. The 30-year-old will look to latch on with a new organization that's seeking outfield depth.
The Tigers reinstated Margot (knee) from the injured list Wednesday and outrighted him to Triple-A Toledo. Margot has been out since mid-April due to a strained patellar tendon in his left knee. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on April 29, and has gone 4-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored in five games. Now fully healthy, he'll remain in the Tigers' farm system but lose his spot on the 40-man roster.
