Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Tallies two hits off bench Saturday
Mike 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.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Powers offense Sunday
Mike 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 Chicago 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.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Out of lineup again Friday
Mike 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 Chicago 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.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Not starting Tuesday
Mike Tauchman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.Tauchman had started in eight of the Chicago 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.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Scores twice in win
Mike Tauchman went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win against the Royals.Tauchman had gotten off to a slow start since returning from the injured list July 19, going just 2-for-23 across his first seven games back. The outfielder doubled that hit total Saturday, and he should be locked into a fairly regular role moving forward, particularly due to Cody Bellinger (finger) being out at the moment. Bellinger's return in the near future may squeeze Tauchman a bit, though the latter still played often earlier in the season when Bellinger was healthy.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Returns from injured list
The Chicago Cubs activated Mike Tauchman (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.Tauchman missed a month of action with a strained left groin but has been cleared to return to action after playing in a couple rehab games. His playing-time outlook is a bit cloudy with the Cubs electing to deploy Christopher Morel at designated hitter lately, but in the short term with Cody Bellinger (finger) on the shelf, Tauchman should see at least semi-regular starts versus righties. He won't be in the lineup Friday versus right-hander Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks, however.

Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Cleared for rehab assignment
Mike Tauchman (groin) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday, starting in right field and going 0-for-2 with a strikeout.Tauchman is coming up on the one-month mark of his ongoing absence from a left groin strain but has been cleared to play in rehab games. The 33-year-old might not quite be ready to return from the 10-day injured list when the Chicago Cubs return to action Friday versus the Diamondbacks, but he shouldn't require too much time to get ramped back up. Once activated, Tauchman should return to seeing regular starts in the outfield or at designated hitter against right-handed pitching.
