Tauchman was diagnosed with a mild knee strain and is expected to miss 10-14 days, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman was already placed on the injured list prior to this timeline, so the news is relatively positive. The Giants maintained their depth in the outfield by activating Jaylin Davis (knee) from the injured list.

Tauchman was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a sprained right knee, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman suffered the injury Tuesday against the Dodgers while making a tumbling catch on the warning track, and he'll now be sidelined until at least July 10. Jaylin Davis (knee) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move to shore up San Francisco's outfield depth.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that Tauchman would undergo an MRI on Wednesday after sustaining a mild right knee contusion and potentially a sprain when he made an acrobatic catch in the second inning of Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman was able to flag down a deep fly ball off the bat of Walker Buehler to deny the Dodgers a potential extra-base hit, but it came at the price of the outfielder sacrificing his body. The 30-year-old was temporarily able to stay in the game and proceeded to deliver a base hit in the top of the third, but he was removed one inning later in favor of Darin Ruf. Kapler indicated that Tauchman didn't appear to be running well after suffering the injury, so the Giants will send him in for further tests to get a better sense of his health. After an off day Wednesday, the Giants will return to action Thursday in Arizona.

Tauchman was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old suffered the injury while making a tumbling catch at the warning track in right field, and he exited the contest after attempting to play through the issue. The specifics of the issue remain unclear as the Giants haven't officially announced the injury.

Tauchman went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman entered the 13th inning having gone 0-for-5, though he delivered a game-sealing three-run homer to make his lone hit of the game count. He now has four long balls on the season, with this shot marking his second of June. Since Alex Dickerson returned from the injured list, Tauchman has been relegated to a reserve role when the Giants don't have the benefit of a designated hitter.

Tauchman is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Phillies, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
LaMonte Wade appears to be manager Gabe Kapler's current preferred option in left field against right-handed pitching, as he'll get the start over Tauchman for the third straight game.

Tauchman isn't in the lineup Thursday against Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman will take a seat for a third straight game after he went 1-for-12 with a double and a walk in his last four appearances. LaMonte Wade will start in left field and bat leadoff.

Tauchman is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old will sit for the second straight, with LaMonte Wade being Wednesday's replacement in left field. Having gone 2-for-19 with no RBI in his last nine games, Tauchman could certainly benefit from a little time off.

Tauchman is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Alex Young announced as Arizona's starting pitcher earlier Tuesday, Tauchman will take a seat for at least the beginning portion of the contest. Austin Slater will lead off and play left field Tuesday.

Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a grand slam Tuesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman flipped the outcome of the game with one swing of the bat in the eighth inning, ripping his third home run of the season to put the Giants up for good. It was his first homer since May 15, though his playing time should be steadier given the current injury to Mike Yastrzemski (thumb). Even so, Tauchman has done little with his opportunities to this point in the season by hitting just .190/.310/.298 across 143 plate appearances.
