Mike Tauchman Fantasy Stats

The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Mike Tauchman (knee) on the 10-day injured list with a torn meniscus in his right knee on Wednesday. Tauchman will undergo surgery on Sept. 30 to repair the issue, and he's expected to recover within five weeks. In what could end up as his lone season as a member of the White Sox, Tauchman hit a useful .263/.356/.400 with nine homers, 40 RBI, and 44 steals over 93 games and 385 plate appearances. Chicago will have the option of keeping Tauchman in 2026, his last year of arbitration eligibility, but the team could move on in lieu of paying him upward of $2 million.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (lower body) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. According to manager Will Venable, Tauchman is out due to lower body soreness. Tauchman has played in seven straight games, so he could use a day off to rest. This doesn't sound like anything serious, so fantasy managers should consider Tauchman as day-to-day. Michael A. Taylor will cover right field and bat ninth against right-hander Mick Abel on Saturday. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update on Tauchman.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (shoulder) is starting in right field and will bat seventh for Friday's series opener in Kansas City against the division-rival Royals and left-hander Noah Cameron. Tauchman did not play in Wednesday's series finale due to soreness in his right shoulder, but he's back in there to begin the weekend after a day off on Thursday. Although the 34-year-old veteran has hit a decent .277 (66-for-238) on the season, those setting DFS lineups will probably want to avoid him against a left-handed hurler. Tauchman has never faced Cameron in his career and is batting .268 (11-for-41) with three of his eight home runs on the year against left-handers. He's really struggled to this point in August, going 8-for-38 (.205) with a homer, two RBI, three runs and a 10:9 BB:K in 11 games played.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (shoulder) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Detroit Tigers due to right-shoulder soreness, according to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. Manager Will Venable said that Tauchman is considered day-to-day for now, and the team doesn't have plans to get imaging on him yet. Brooks Baldwin will now play right field and bat eighth, while catcher Kyle Teel serves as the designated hitter and bats leadoff against Tigers rookie right-hander Troy Melton. Tauchman has hit a decent .277 (66-for-238) on the year but with only eight home runs, 31 RBI an 32 runs scored for the worst team in the American League. Teel will be a DFS sleeper at catcher, although he has only two homers and 13 RBI in his first 149 MLB plate appearances.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (groin) is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff for the team on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson. A groin injury kept Tauchman sidelined for the last four games, but he's back in there now and will hit atop the batting order for the Pale Hose. Due to injuries in 2025, the 34-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has just 97 at-bats on the season, and he's hitting .258 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 17 runs scored to barely move the needle in deep fantasy formats. Tauchman hasn't been nearly as good in the month of June, going 11-for-58 (.190) with three home runs, two doubles, a triple, nine RBI and 17 strikeouts in 67 plate appearances over 17 games. He hasn't had a multi-hit game since June 1. In three career at-bats against Nelson, Tauchman has a hit and one RBI.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (groin) missed a fourth straight game on Monday, although manager Will Venable said that the 34-year-old lefty would take batting practice before the game and could be available off the bench. The White Sox were blown out on Monday against Arizona and lefty Eduardo Rodriguez and did not end up calling on Tauchman, but it seems like the lefty could be back in the mix on Tuesday against righty Ryne Nelson. Tauchman is hitting .258 with four homers and a .362 wOBA in his 28 games for the White Sox, and they'll hope he can get back in action soon.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (groin) remains out of the starting nine on Sunday when the White Sox conclude a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The outfielder has been held out of action over the past two games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may miss additional time during the start of the week. This afternoon, the White Sox will give Michael A. Taylor the starting nod in right field. He will bat in the nine hole. Tauchman has been productive across his limited 28-game stint this season. During this stretch, Tauchman has held a .258/.365/.464 line with four long balls. The White Sox are best to fade in DFS facing Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (groin) remains out of the starting nine on Saturday when the White Sox continue a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Tauchman was held out of action on Friday as well. The outfielder suffered this injury during Thursday's game. Before his injury, Tauchman held a modest .192/.242/323 line with a double, home run, and a 10:2 K:BB over his last nine games. This afternoon, the White Sox will give Austin Slater the starting nod. Slater will cover right field and will bat in the eight-hole. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Tauchman as he may need a stint on the injured list if this injury continues to linger. The White Sox are worth a look in DFS facing Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios, who holds a 3.81 ERA.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (groin) did not start in the second game of their doubleheader on Thursday, and according to Will Venable, Tauchman reported some right groin soreness. He'll be evaluated now, and it'll be day to day, Scott Merkin, White Sox beat writer, reports. Although Tachman did not start game two of the doubleheader, he did enter the game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI and a run, suggesting that his injury isn't anything too serious. In Tauchman's absence, Austin Slater was slotted in the outfield to roam right field. Tauchman has enjoyed a decent season so far, slashing .258/.365/.464 with four home runs, 14 RBI, and 17 runs scored. He remains a decent outfield option for deeper leagues that require five outfield spots.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they reinstated both outfielders Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielders Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko to Triple-A Charlotte in corresponding moves. Benintendi is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup, while Tauchman is in right field and hitting in the two-hole for Friday's series opener versus the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Tyler Mahle. Both Benintendi and Tauchman offer mild power appeal for fantasy managers in deeper leagues searching for outfield depth, and they should both play regularly for the Pale Hose moving forward against right-handed pitching. Austin Slater and Michael Taylor are the two outfielders in Chicago that will probably be hurt the most by the return of both Benintendi and Tauchman.
