Top Jake Mangum News

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Back in Friday's lineup

    Mangum (foot) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Mangum was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the Yankees due to right foot discomfort, but he is good to go for the series opener Friday against the Cubs. Mangum will lead off and play center field for Pittsburgh.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Scratched due to foot injury

    Mangum was scratched for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees due to right foot discomfort.

    Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Mangum fouled a ball off his foot during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader but stayed in the game to finish 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a 5-3 extra-inning win. The Pirates will have an update on Mangum's status after he undergoes further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Billy Cook will take over in center field and bat ninth.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Resting against lefty

    Mangum is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    The switch-hitting Mangum has been much more effective against right-handers (104 wRC+) than lefties (83 wRC+) over his first two big-league seasons, so he'll hit the bench Monday while the Yankees send southpaw Ryan Weathers to the bump. With Mangum taking a seat, Billy Cook will receive the start in center field and will bat ninth.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Resting during Game 2

    Mangum isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    After going 1-for-3 with two runs scored during a victory in Game 1, Mangum will grab a seat on the bench to begin the nightcap. Bryan Reynolds, Billy Cook and Esmerlyn Valdez will form the Pirates' outfield trio while Mangum sits.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Fills stat sheet in loss

    Mangum went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-5 loss to Atlanta.

    It's the fourth career four-hit game for Mangum, highlighted by his two-run blast off Bryce Elder in the fourth inning, his second homer this season. The switch-hitting outfielder has gone 18-for-50 (.360) over his last 12 games, boosting his slash line to .311/.361/.383 across 244 plate appearances this season with 32 runs scored, 18 RBI and 18 stolen bases.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Swipes two bags in loss

    Mangum went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Nationals.

    The 30-year-old continues to produce as the Pirates' regular center fielder while Oneil Cruz (hand) is on the IL. Mangum has delivered multiple hits in three straight games, and over 21 contests since Cruz went down he's slashing .358/.388/.432 with six doubles, five steals, five RBI and 10 runs. Cruz isn't expected back until the latter part of July after the All-Star break, so Mangum has at least another week-plus to play regularly.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Heading to bench Tuesday

    Mangum is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Mangum will hit the bench after he produced a .297/.316/.378 slash line with one stolen base, four runs and two RBI while starting in the Pirates' last nine games. Billy Cook will replace Mangum in center field and will bat eighth.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Three-hit effort Sunday

    Mangum went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.

    Mangum logged his fifth multi-hit effort over 17 games in June. He's batting .375 (21-for-56) this month, though his only extra-base hits are five doubles. The outfielder has taken over a strong-side platoon role in center field in the absence of Oneil Cruz (hand), but Mangum is also regularly hitting in the bottom third of the order, which limits his upside a bit. On the season, Mangum is batting .306 with a .722 OPS, one home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven doubles and 13 stolen bases over 176 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Taking over in center field

    Mangum went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Dodgers.

    He started in center field for the fourth consecutive game, filling in for Oneil Cruz (hand). Mangum has gone 5-for-16 with two doubles and a stolen base in that span, though his RBI and run scored Thursday were his first counting stats. Mangum should play nearly every day so long as Cruz is sidelined.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Out of lineup Saturday

    Mangum is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against Atlanta on Saturday.

    Mangum will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz and Ryan O'Hearn start in the outfield from left to right. Mangum has gone 10-for-27 (.370) with five steals, one home run and four RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Swats first homer in win

    Mangum went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-9 win over the Twins.

    Mangum launched his first homer of the season in the second inning before giving the Pirates an 8-7 lead on an RBI single in the fifth. It was the 30-year-old's first three-hit effort since April 16, and he's now hit safely in five of his past six starts with five RBI during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .267/.339/.317 with one home run, eight RBI, 16 runs scored and seven steals across 114 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Not in Friday's lineup

    Mangum is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Minnesota on Friday.

    Mangum was out of the Pirates' lineup for three consecutive games before starting in right field against the Cubs on Thursday, when he went 1-for-4 and got caught stealing. Jhostynxon Garcia, Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds will start in the outfield from left to right while Konnor Griffin (forearm) serves as the Pirates' designated hitter for Friday's series opener.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Sitting in third straight game

    Mangum is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    Upon returning from the injured list May 17, Mangum started in five of the Pirates' ensuing seven games, but he'll be relegated to the bench Wednesday for the third consecutive contest. Unless the Pirates are willing to pull the plug on the struggling Marcell Ozuna as their primary designated hitter, Mangum likely won't have a path to steady at-bats in the outfield while Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz are available and while rookie Esmerlyn Valdez is getting prioritized ahead of him.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Seeing steady starts since return

    Mangum will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Since returning from the injured list last Sunday, Mangum has drawn starts in five of the last seven games. The Pirates recently called up Jhostynxon Garcia and Esmerlyn Valdez from Triple-A Indianapolis to fortify their outfield while Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) is on the shelf, but Mangum could still have a path to at least a semi-regular role if Oneil Cruz continues to make more of his starts at designated hitter in place of the struggling Marcell Ozuna rather than in center field.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Back from injured list

    The Pirates reinstated Mangum (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    The 30-year-old landed on the shelf in early May due to a strained left hamstring, but he's rejoining the Pirates on Sunday after a brief stint on the shelf. Mangum has a .260/.333/.288 slash line with no homers, five steals, three RBI and 13 runs in his first 30 games of the season, and he could take over as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder with Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) going to the IL.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Placed on IL

    The Pirates placed Mangum on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Friday, retroactive to Wednesday.

    Mangum was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a hamstring issue, and additional testing later revealed his injury to be a strain. He'll now be held out of action until at least May 16, and Nick Yorke will come up from Triple-A Indianapolis to replenish Pittsburgh's bench depth.

  • Pirates' Jake Mangum: Nursing hamstring issue

    Mangum was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to left hamstring discomfort, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Mangum was scratched just before first pitch, so he might have tweaked something pregame. The Pirates could have more on his status after the game.
