The Detroit Tigers signed veteran outfielder Manuel Margot to a one-year contract, multiple media outlets reported on Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed for Margot, who will give the Tigers another option with fellow outfielders Parker Meadows, Matt Vierling and Akil Baddoo dealing with injuries.
Meadows is expected to be out at least four weeks due to a nerve issue in his throwing shoulder. Vierling is nursing a rotator cuff injury while Baddoo is dealing with an ailing hand after undergoing offseason surgery to repair a fracture.
Margot, 30, batted .238 with four home runs and 31 RBIs in 129 games last season, his first with the Minnesota Twins.
He is a career .254 hitter with 56 homers and 314 RBIs over parts of nine seasons with the San Diego Padres (2016-19), Tampa Bay Rays (2020-23) and the Twins.
