Mike

Tauchman

Martín Pérez, Josh Rojas and Tauchman were the White Sox’s three biggest offseason signings, added to provide some leadership for a young team but mostly in the hopes of returning a prospect at the deadline. That dream is dead in the case of Pérez and on life support when it comes to Rojas, but Tauchman should get the team something; he’s hit .299/.382/.458 in 165 plate appearances while healthy.

Tauchman missed the last four games. He’s in the leadoff spot ahead of Chase Meidroth tonight.

Tauchman will remain on Chicago’s bench for the fourth straight game as he continues to deal with right groin soreness. It’ll be rookie Edgar Quero taking over at DH with Chase Meidroth in the leadoff spot.

Tauchman has been dealing with right groin soreness and will sit out Sunday’s series finale. It’ll be Michael A. Taylor taking over in right field with Chase Meidroth occupying the leadoff spot in his absence.

Tauchman will remain on the bench for the second straight contest as he battles a right groin issue. The 34-year-old figures to return to Chicago’s lineup at some point this weekend since the club has declined to send him to the injured list. It’ll be Austin Slater in right field again with Ryan Noda bumping up to the leadoff spot.

The 34-year-old outfielder suffered the injury at the end of Thursday’s battle against the Cardinals as he attempted to score on a ground ball hit to third base in the ninth inning. The encouraging news is that despite making a series of roster moves on Friday, the White Sox did not place Tauchman on the injured list. He’s considered day-to-day for the time being. Austin Slater will start in his place in right field and bat eighth for the White Sox against Jays’ right-hander Spencer Turnbull.

Tauchman’s home run was his second of the season. The 34-year-old outfielder was activated last week after being on the injured list since early April with a hamstring injury. While Tauchman will see plenty of playing time against right-handed pitching, his fantasy value is limited to AL-Only leagues.

Tauchman struck out looking to lead off the first inning and that would be the only time the Orioles would retire the veteran 34-year-old outfielder. He knocked a base hit in the third, then doubled in the fifth before scoring on a single by Andrew Benintendi. Tauchman collected a third hit with a single in the seventh to drive in a run. He’s hitting .359/.479/.538 with one homer and nine runs scored across 48 plate appearances.

Tauchman gives the White Sox some outfield depth after missing over a month with his right hamstring strain. The 34-year-old should see a decent amount of time in the Chicago lineup, but that won’t be enough to suggest he’s worthy of a fantasy addition.

Tauchman, 34, will be given more time to ramp up after his second hamstring strain. The outfielder could be an option for the White Sox outfield at some point early next week.
