Lands on injured list The Rays placed Mangum on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Mangum was pulled from Wednesday's game early after injuring himself running to first base in the fourth inning. Imaging revealed a strain in his groin Thursday, so he will now miss at least the next 10 days while he recovers. A minimum-length stay may be all the 29-year-old needs, however, as he said after Wednesday's contest that he wasn't too concerned about his injury. Coco Montes was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Slated for MRI Mangum is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday after exiting Wednesday's 7-6 win over Arizona in 11 innings due to left groin tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun...
Impact Mangum grounded out in both of his plate appearances before he was lifted prior to the bottom of the fourth inning due to the injury. He told Bass after the game that he isn't too concerned about the injury, but even if the MRI reveals nothing serious, Mangum would seem unlikely to play in Thursday's series finale. The 29-year-old rookie has been a pleasant surprise for the Rays and fantasy managers alike through the first month of the season, batting .338 with eight stolen bases, seven RBI and seven runs over 21 games.

Diamondbacks square off against the Rays with series tied 1-1
Both the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Rays are looking for a series win with a victory on ThursdayAPRIL 24 • Associated Press
Exits with injury Mangum was removed from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to an apparent left foot injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Mangum pulled up after failing to beat out a grounder in the fourth inning, and he seemed hesitant to put weight on his left foot/leg. He was able to walk back to the dugout under his own power but was replaced defensively when the Rays took the field. The team's medical staff will take a closer look at him and should offer an update on his status in the near future.

Impact Mangum entered Sunday hitless across his last 11 at-bats, but he snapped that streak with a single in the sixth inning. He proceeded to swipe his sixth bag of the season, and he has yet to be caught. Mangum could start to lose out on playing time once Richie Palacios (finger) returns, but he's a solid source of batting average and steals for the time being.

Impact Mangum has started six of eight games since being recalled to the majors March 29. He's earned the playing time by maintaining a five-game hitting streak, also chipping in four RBI, three runs scored and four stolen bases in that span.
