Rays' Jake Mangum: Taking seat Thursday

Mangum isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

After starting the month of July, 7-for-28 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored in seven games, Mangum will take a seat against Walker Buehler and the Red Sox on Thursday. Christopher Morel will fill the open spot in left field and bat seventh.
