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

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.
Analysis
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.

Late scratch from lineup
Mangum was a late scratch from the lineup for Thursday's game in Arizona, Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.
Analysis
There's no word yet on the reason for Mangum being pulled from the lineup, but the Pirates should have an update shortly. Billy Cook took over in center field in Mangum's stead.
