Mangum went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum got a rare day off Saturday but returned to the lineup Sunday. He now has at least one hit in each of his last nine starts, during which he's gone 15-for-40 with four doubles, eight RBI and seven runs scored. Mangum won't provide much power, but he has 10 stolen bases and is hitting .318 across 159 plate appearances for the season.

Mangum isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum extended his hitting streak to nine games with a single Friday, but he'll grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest. His absence will allow Christopher Morel to start in left field while batting fifth.

Mangum went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBIs during Monday's 7-1 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum has continued to be hot at the plate since his return from the injured list in late May. He's reached base in seven straight games and he's done plenty of damage too with 12 hits, eight RBIs and five runs scored in that time. The 29-year-old has been good in a relatively small sample size this season, slashing .315/.360/.386 in 37 games played.

Mangum went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum has started 12 of 13 games since being activated from the injured list. He has racked up 10 RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases while going 12-for-48 in that span, and he's hit particularly well through four games on the Rays' current road trip by collecting seven hits across 16 at-bats with four RBI and two runs scored.

Mangum isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from the injured list Friday, Mangum has gone 4-for-19 with a home run and five RBI in five games. He'll take a seat for Thursday's series finale, opening up a spot in left field for Christopher Morel.

Mangum went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum has started four straight games since being activated from the injured list. He has only three hits across 15 at-bats, but he's delivered four RBI with a home run and a steal. Assuming he continues to get regular playing time, Mangum should be a solid source of batting average and stolen bases moving forward.

Mangum went 2-for-5 with a home run and three total RBI against the Astros in a 16-3 victory Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum notched an RBI single in the sixth inning and added a two-run homer in the seventh. The long ball was the first of the 29-year-old's big-league career in his 23rd game. Mangum probably isn't going to become a sudden power source for the Rays -- he's never hit more than nine home runs in a professional season -- but he is slashing a cool .329/.370/.421 with eight stolen bases and just eight strikeouts through 81 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Mangum went 0-for-3 Friday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum was activated from the injured list Friday after missing roughly five weeks. He immediately slotted third into the lineup with lefty Framber Valdez on the mound, though he'll likely slide down the order when the Rays take on right-handed pitching.

The Rays activated Mangum (groin) off the 10-day injured list Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has been sidelined by a groin strain for over a month, but he's ready to rejoin the Rays after going 9-for-21 with four walks and a double during a six-game rehab assignment. Mangum wasn't expected to be a factor for Tampa Bay to begin the season, but he took advantage of the club's outfield injuries and started his MLB career with a strong .338/.384/.397 slash line and eight steals in his first 21 games.

Mangum (groin) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mangum will presumably remain with Durham through the weekend before the Rays determine whether he's fit to return from the 10-day injured list. Before getting deactivated April 24 after suffering a left groin strain, Mangum had slashed an impressive .338/.384/.397 with eight steals across 73 plate appearances, though a .377 BABIP helped fuel the elevated batting average. The Rays have been rolling with Chandler Simpson, Kameron Misner and Josh Lowe as their primary outfield configuration from left to right of late, and it's unclear if the switch-hitting Mangum will be able to supplant any of the three for a regular role against right-handed pitching once he's activated. At the very least, Mangum should be a fixture in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.
