2026 Fantasy Outlook
If the Rays could somehow combine the overall skill sets of Mangum and Chandler Simpson into one player, they could have something special. Neither has any power, but what Simpson lacks in plate discipline and overall approach, Mangum has in spades. Mangum endeared himself to the team with a high-contact and all-fields approach to hitting, as he realized his best chance for success was hitting the ball on the ground and using his speed to get on base. Mangum, despite having fewer than 400 plate appearances in 2025, tied with Trea Turner for the most infield hits in baseball with 32. Mangum needs that volume of infield hits because the overall quality of his contact is not great. In an ideal world, Mangum is a fourth outfielder on a club because he has the versatility and skills managers love to have on the bench, but he was forced into regular duties due to injuries and ineffectiveness of others on the roster. Mangum needs a lot to go well to repeat his two-category success of 2025, but this is truly an AL-only play for 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $800,200 contract with the Pirates in March of 2026.
Not in Friday's lineup
Mangum is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Minnesota on Friday.
Analysis
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.

How does Jake Mangum compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mangum has been toiling in the minor leagues since 2019, but he's yet to experience The Show. He's spent the last three seasons at Triple-A, playing for three different organizations. After Mangum produced a .317/.357/.442 line with 20 steals for Triple-A Durham in 2024, the club gave him a spot on their 40-man roster, shielding him from the Rule 5 Draft. Mangum can play all three outfield positions, which could help him make his debut this season as a 29-year-old. His asset is putting the bat on the ball, but since he's been older than most at his level for several seasons, it's unclear how well his contact skills may translate. The fact that Tampa Bay thinks enough of Mangum to dedicate a 40-man roster spot to him is sufficient enough to put him on the radar, but not enough to draft him, save for AL-only leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Pittsburgh
Mangum could be traded from the Rays to the Pirates in a three-team trade that also includes the Astros, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Analysis
Pittsburgh would also be getting Brandon Lowe and Mason Montgomery, while Mike Burrows heads to the Astros and Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito move to the Rays. After spending six years in the minor leagues, Mangum finally got to the majors in 2025 and acquitted himself well with a .296/.330/.368 slash line and 27 stolen bases in 118 games.
