Tauchman went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.
With the Cubs eliminated from playoff contention and Ian Happ (back) out of the lineup for the second straight day, Tauchman got another chance to start. The veteran homered Sunday and posted another solid stat line Monday from the leadoff spot. Tauchman could have some short-term fantasy value in the final week of the regular season as Chicago deploys some different lineups, though he figures to revert to a reserve role in 2025, which will push him back off the radar in most formats.
