Tauchman, who appeared as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, went 2-for-2 with two runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Marlins. Tauchman made a late appearance in the contest but quickly joined the hit parade, and he recorded his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 4. The veteran outfielder has been squeezed out of a regular role with the emergence of Pete Crow-Armstrong in center field, which has pushed Cody Bellinger to the corners or the DH spot. Tauchman can still produce when he's in the lineup, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent playing time in the near future.

Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals. Tauchman made his first start since Monday and saw his first action of any kind since Thursday, when he received one at-bat off the bench. The Cubs seem to be giving youngster Pete Crow-Armstrong more run in center field due to his speed and defensive abilities. With Crow-Armstrong gaining a foothold in the outfield, Cody Bellinger has been logging more time at designated hitter while relegating Tauchman to a reserve role. The 33-year-old's fantasy value takes a hit due to the reduction in playing time.

Tauchman is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cardinals. All four of Cody Bellinger's starts since he returned from the injured list have come from the designated hitter spot, as the Cubs appear to be protecting the finger injury that sent him to the IL. The result is Tauchman being out of the lineup for four straight games even after he contributed a walk-off RBI double in Thursday's comeback win. Bellinger should eventually return to playing the field, but until that happens, Tauchman will mostly be a bench bat.

Tauchman isn't in the Cubs' lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals. Tacuhman is not in the starting lineup for the third consecutive day after he didn't start in Wednesday's 13-4 victory over the Reds. Since returning from the injured list due to a groin injury, the 33-year-old is 4-for-31 in an 11-game span. Cody Bellinger is the designated hitter Thursday with Pete Crow-Armstrong entering the lineup in center field, batting eighth.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. With southpaw Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for the Reds, the lefty-hitting Tauchman will hit the bench Wednesday. Cody Bellinger will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Tauchman as the Cubs' designated hitter.
