Josh Lowe

Caballero played two innings in the outfield for the Mariners in 2023 but has no other MLB innings in the outfield before this year. With Ha-Seong Kim inching closer to a return, the ability for Caballero to move to the outfield would be huge for his ability to get into the lineup, especially with Josh Lowe (oblique) out for months. Kameron Misner will get the day off with Jake Mangum remaining in the lineup in left field.

Mangum kicked off the scoring with a two-run double down the left-field line against Pirates prospect Thomas Harrington in the opening frame. The relatively unknown 29-year-old rookie is getting an everyday opportunity for the Rays with Josh Lowe (oblique) on the injured list and is certainly making the most of it, hitting .636 (7-for-11) with four RBI and three steals in three contests. He won't sustain this level of production long-term, but he's at least put himself onto fantasy manager's radar screens as a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues.

This is kind of weird, especially being that Morel has reached base in five of his 11 plate appearances this season and the Rays are down their best outfielder in Josh Lowe. They're going with a Kameron Misner-Jonny DeLuca-Jake Mangum outfield tonight.

Mangum picked up his first major-league hit and stolen base in the second inning before extending Tampa Bay's early lead with a two-run single in the fourth inning. He also drilled a ground-rule double and came around to score on Jose Caballero's extra-base knock in the sixth inning. The unheralded switch-hitting outfielder capped off a four-hit performance, which included a pair of hits from both sides of the plate, with an eighth-inning single. It was certainly a memorable night for Mangum, who figures to continue getting opportunities with Josh Lowe (oblique) facing an extended absence. He's at least worthy of a speculative flyer in extremely deep mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

The left-hander also struck out five and walked one on the day, with the only real damage being a two-run home run by Brandon Lowe. An injury to Josh Lowe did impact the quality of the lineup the Rays were able to put out there, but Feltner also induced 13 whiffs for a 31 percent whiff rate on the day. His changeup, in particular, was a strong offering for him on Sunday, but it's hard to trust him in Coors Field against the Athletics next week.
