Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman capped off the team's comeback win against the crosstown-rival Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, walking it off with his fifth home run of 2024. Tauchman hit the walk-off homer to center field off struggling White Sox closer Michael Kopech on Wednesday, giving the Cubs a 6-5 victory in the ninth inning. The versatile 33-year-old veteran has settled in as Chicago's primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching this year, slashing a respectable .269/.372/.414 with five round-trippers, 18 RBI, 36 runs scored, and four stolen bags over 218 plate appearances. Tauchman is worth considering as an option for fantasy managers in NL-only settings.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Braves. Tauchman's homer set the tone of the game early, as it came on the first pitch of the game off Braves starter Charlie Morton. The 33-year-old had a solid start to the season, hitting .307 in April with three of his four home runs coming during the month, but so far is hitting just .208 in May. He's still making good contact (80.8% Contact%), walking a lot (16.0% BB%), and his 26 runs scored puts him just one behind the likes of Freddie Freeman (27), so hopefully this is just a cold spell for him and Wednesday's homer gets him back on track.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman delivered a clutch hit during Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The Cubs trailed 4-1 in the eighth inning, but Tauchman had an answer for that. After two singles, Tauchman came up and blasted a three-run home run to tie up the ballgame. Unfortunately for Cubs fans, the Red Sox would win this game in the bottom of the ninth. Tauchman is slashing .294/.429/.500 with three homers, 10 RBI this season.
