Tauchman is not in the lineup Friday versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Ian Happ, Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki will start across the outfield as the Cubs face off against left-hander Max Fried. Yan Gomes is taking a turn at designated hitter with Miguel Amaya handling the catching duties. The lefty-swinging Tauchman has proven to be a tremendous addition for Chicago, but he'll likely continue to sit against most southpaws - only 42 of his 233 plate appearances on the season have come against left-handed pitchers.
