Mike Tauchman News
Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman is taking a seat on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Tauchman will be on the bench to start this one after starting the last three contests versus right-handed pitchers. The 33-year-old veteran has started the 2024 season off cold, going 1-for-8 in his first four games, although he's walked five times and scored five runs in 13 plate appearances. With Tauchman on the bench in this one, Christopher Morel is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup, while Nick Madrigal draws in at third base and is hitting eighth against Dodgers impressive young right-hander Bobby Miller. Neither Morel nor Madrigal have faced Miller yet in their careers.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman is starting in right field and is batting eighth for the Cubbies on Monday for the start of a series against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Dakota Hudson. Tauchman didn't start in the first two games of the season, but he's in there for a second straight game against a right-handed starter. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter is taking at-bats away from infielder Nick Madrigal against righties, at least to open the 2024 season. Tauchman will be looking for his first knock of the year after going 0-for-2 with three walks, a strikeout and two runs scored in his first five plate appearances in 2024. In a platoon role with Chicago, Tauchman has limited fantasy appeal, mostly in NL-only setups. He should be considered a low-upside sleeper option in DFS contests on Monday.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman will take a seat on Friday with the team facing left-hander Cole Ragans and the visiting Kansas City Royals. Tauchman continues to sit against most left-handed pitchers this year and is hitting .263 (10-for-38) with only one of his seven home runs against them in 2023. Overall, though, the 32-year-old veteran has been a very valuable part-time outfield bat for the Cubbies, slashing .272/.372/.421 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, five stolen bases and 45 runs scored in 70 games in his first year in Chicago. Tauchman has been even better since the All-Star break, going 29-for-90 (.322) with four home runs, eight doubles, 21 RBI, two stolen bases and 20 runs scored in 28 games (19 starts).
