Resting Monday Margot is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After coming off the 10-day injured list Saturday, Margot made starts in right field and designated hitter to close out the weekend series with the Royals, going 1-for-8 at the dish between the Rays' two victories. The Rays may be inclined to give him a lighter workload initially coming off the right knee sprain, but Margot should be a near-everyday player in the outfield moving forward.

One hit in return Margot went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Royals.

Impact Margot was struggling prior to his absence with a .637 OPS in 41 at-bats over 11 games from June 9 through June 20 leading up to his knee sprain. The outfielder is drastically better on the road with a .344 average and .942 OPS in 90 at-bats compared to a .260 average and .632 OPS in 96 at-bats at home. Furthermore, the 27-year-old is more productive against left-handed pitching with a .462 OBP in 45 at-bats compared to a .329 OBP in 141 at-bats against righties.

Roman Quinn (knee) landed on the 10-day injured list to clear space on the active roster.
