Tauchman went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman notched a base hit in the second, fourth and sixth innings but it didn't amount to much run production for the Cubs. The 32-year-old has just one extra base hit thus far across 30 plate appearances for the Cubs since being called up May 19. He is slashing .333/.467/.375 with one RBI, three runs and a 5:6 BB:K. He should continue to find himself in the lineup most days until Cody Bellinger (knee) is able to return from the injured list.

Tauchman will start in center field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman is in the starting nine for the third game in a row after going 1-for-5 with a double, three walks, a stolen base and a run over the previous contests. He looks like he could remain the Cubs' primary option in center field until Cody Bellinger (knee) returns from the 10-day injured list, though the lefty-hitting Tauchman could sit out against some lefties.

Tauchman went 0-for-2 with two walks and a steal in Sunday's loss against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman made his first start of the season Sunday in center field after he was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday. He reached base safely twice on a pair of walks and tallied his first stolen base. The 32-year-old Tauchman figures to fill a bench role in Chicago while Cody Bellinger (knee) is sidelined. Tauchman last played in the MLB in 2021, when he slashed .181/.284/.283 with four homers and three steals in 75 games (191 plate appearances) between the Yankees and the Mariners.

The Cubs selected Tauchman from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman fell short of making the Cubs' roster out of spring training, but he has impressed with Triple-A Iowa to the tune of a .278/.427/.443 slash line. He will likely serve as a bench piece for the Cubs while Cody Bellinger (knee) is on the injured list.

The Cubs reassigned Tauchman to minor-league camp Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After spending the 2022 season in the Korea Baseball Organization with the Hanwha Eagles, Tauchman returned stateside this offseason and linked up with the Cubs on a minor-league pact. The 32-year-old was unable to win a reserve outfield spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster and is expected to report to Triple-A Iowa for the start of the minor-league season if a better opportunity in another organization doesn't emerge in the coming days.

Tauchman stands a decent chance of making the Cubs' roster out of spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman is a non-roster invitee but has impressed this spring, which leaves the veteran in a position to possibly earn a reserve outfield role. The 32-year-old spent 2022 in Korea, with his last MLB experience coming in 2021 with the Yankees and Giants. Tauchman did flash some upside back in 2019 with New York, hitting 13 home runs and posting an .865 OPS across 87 games, though he's unlikely to earn enough playing time this year to be a fantasy factor.

Tauchman signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old spent 2022 in Korea following a disappointing showing in 2021 with the Yankees and Giants. Tauchman is a solid defender at all three outfield spots and has flashed offensive upside in the past, which could give him a decent chance to win a reserve job in Chicago with a solid camp.

Tauchman is signing with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization on Thursday, Sung Min Kim of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman split the 2021 campaign between the Yankees and Giants, while also spending some time with Triple-A Sacramento. He hit a subpar .181/.284/.283 across 191 big-league plate appearances, so rather than waiting out the lockout in the hopes of landing a deal, he'll take an offer to play internationally. Tauchman is signing a one-year, $1 million deal, so he could have the option to return stateside in future seasons if he plays well with Hanwha.

Tauchman cleared waivers and was ourighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman was designated for assignment Thursday and will land in Triple-A after passing through waivers. He'll serve as organizational outfield depth for the time being.

Tauchman was designated for assignment by the Giants on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Tauchman was reinstated from the 10-day injured list after the All-Star break, but he had started in just two of the past 12 games. The 30-year-old has hit .181 with four homers, 22 runs, 15 RBI and three stolen bases in 75 games this year, and he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Brandon Crawford (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Thursday.
