  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Roster spot safe

    Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that Tauchman will be included on the Cubs' Opening Day roster, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    It's not a major surprise given the veteran outfielder had a solid .740 OPS in 108 games for Chicago last season, but it's still worth noting given Cody Bellinger was recently re-signed. Tauchman is poised to served as the Cubs' fourth outfielder and isn't likely to have much fantasy utility in that role.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Avoids arbitration

    Tauchman signed a one-year, $1.95 million contract with the Cubs on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Tauchman slashed .252/.363/.377 with 48 RBI across 401 plate appearances during his first season with the Cubs, earning a $1.23 million raise in the process. He'll likely begin the season as Chicago's primary center fielder, though the impending arrival of Pete Crow-Armstrong could eventually put a dent into Tauchman's playing time.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Tauchman will not start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The veteran outfielder maintained a surprisingly solid .746 OPS in 81 games through the end of August, but his OPS sits at just .693 in September. With lefty Eric Lauer on the mound for Milwaukee, Tauchman will hit the bench in favor of Patrick Wisdom, who starts at first base, pushing Cody Bellinger to Tauchman's usual spot in center field.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Goes deep in loss

    Tauchman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5, extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

    Tauchman went deep in the third inning, giving him eight long balls for the year. It was the veteran outfielder's first home run since Aug. 8, and he's batting only .238 this month. However, Tauchman should continue to see opportunities against righties in the last few days of the regular season as the Cubs try to secure a playoff spot.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Idle against lefty

    Tauchman isn't in the Cubs' lineup Sunday against Colorado, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Tauchman will retreat to the bench as left-hander Ty Blach prepares to start on the mound Sunday. Alexander Canario will instead get the nod in center field and bat ninth.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Sitting versus lefty

    Tauchman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.

    Cody Bellinger will start in center field and bat third with the Pirates throwing left-hander Bailey Falter. Patrick Wisdom is playing first base and batting eighth. The left-handed-hitting Tauchman has slashed .239/.327/.370 in 53 plate appearances this year versus southpaws.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Out of lineup again

    Tauchman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Colorado, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    It marks the fourth straight game that Tauchman has been absent from the lineup. Three of them have been against lefties -- Wednesday included -- but the presence of Pete Crow-Armstrong and also Christopher Morel heating back up could conspire to force Tauchman to the bench more often than not.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: On bench Tuesday

    Tauchman is not in the lineup Tuesday at Colorado.

  • Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Tauchman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Tauchman started the past three games but will head to the bench Sunday after going 0-for-9 with three walks and a run during that stretch. Cody Bellinger will move out to center field while Jeimer Candelario handles first base and Christopher Morel leads off at designated hitter.
