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.
Analyse
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.

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

Sitting in third straight game
Mangum is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Analyse
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.
