Mangum is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

Mangum has now been out of the lineup each of the last three times the Rays have faced a left-handers (in this case, Mitchell Parker) and four of the last seven games overall. Everson Pereira will patrol center field for Tampa Bay.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum is a switch hitter, but he's been far more effective against right-handed pitching (.769 OPS in 228 plate appearances) than lefties (.451 OPS in 100 plate appearances) this season. He'll cede the start in center field to Everson Pereira while the Cardinals send Matthew Liberatore to the hill.

Mangum went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The four-hit game was Mangum's third of the season, and it was just his second contest of the year with multiple extra-base hits. The speedy switch hitter is a strong source of steals -- he has 20 stolen bases over 311 at-bats -- but he's provided very little in the way of power in 2025. Mangum is hitting .283 with two home runs, 14 doubles, 34 RBI and 32 runs scored across 90 outings.

Mangum went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum has been mediocre so far in August, going 8-for-36 (.222) with three steals and three RBI over his last 12 games. The outfielder continues to see steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers, though the switch hitter isn't being strictly platooned while working all over the outfield. He's now at a .278/.316/.347 slash line with two home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and 18 steals through 84 contests on the season.

Mangum isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum will get his second game off in three days as the club gives Chandler Simpson a chance to start in left field, while Everson Pereira draws his first big-league start of the 2025 campaign. Mangum is 5-for-19 with one double, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in his last six appearances.

Mangum is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays will start Chandler Simpson, Tristan Peters and Josh Lowe in the outfield from left to right. Mangum has struggled at the plate in the 18 games since the All-Star break, posting a .389 OPS with three steals and two RBI over that span.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum will hit the bench against Angels southpaw Tyler Anderson after the outfielder had started in each of the Rays' previous three contests. The 29-year-old rookie is a switch hitter, but he's been far more effective against righties (117 wRC+, .338 wOBA) than lefties (27 wRC+, .208 wOBA) this season.

Mangum went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum remains a near-everyday player for the Rays but has struggled mightily since the All-Star break. He's gone just 8-for-51 with one double and three runs scored, with Tuesday marking his first RBI in his last 16 starts. Positively, Mangum has four stolen bases in that span, but his fantasy appeal is limited.

Mangum isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. Christopher Morel will fill in as Tampa Bay's left fielder and bat fifth.

Mangum is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum will cede his spot in the outfield to Jonny DeLuca, who will cover center field while Chandler Simpson shifts over to left field. Since the All-Star break, Mangum has started in nine of the Rays' 13 contests while slashing just .147/.194/.176 with two stolen bases, two runs and zero RBI.
