Tauchman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Tauchman had started in eight of the Cubs' last nine games following his return from the injured list July 19, but he slashed just .129/.182/.129 over those contests. He's still holding down a .690 OPS for the season -- 140 points above Pete Crow-Armstrong's .550 mark -- but Tauchman could nonetheless lose out on work to the former player while he's struggling at the plate. Though he's provided little impact with the bat this season, Crow-Armstrong brings elite speed and defense in center field to the table, while Tauchman has typically been relegated to designated hitter or a corner-outfield spot and isn't nearly as prolific in the running game.
