Mangum will be riding pine for the series finale after he started in each of the Pirates' previous four games while going 3-for-12 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI during that stretch. The 30-year-old outfielder has noticed only a slight downturn in playing time since Oneil Cruz returned from the injured list Aug. 18, but Mangum could see his opportunities dwindle a bit more when Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) likely come back from the IL during the upcoming week.
