Tauchman, a Palatine native, serves as a veteran presence and offensive contributor during a challenging rebuild, offering steadiness and depth in a crowded outfield landscape.

Tauchman headed to the injured list as the White Sox shuffled rosters, with Cannon and Derek Hill joining for the home stretch.

Tauchman flashed elite defensive instincts, supplying the Sox with their clearest highlight reel of the night and giving fantasy managers a reminder that defensive stat lines can carry value in deep formats.

Tauchman delivered a first-inning liner to set the stage, but the offense stalled after. He contributed defensively with a strong arm on the play that ended the top of the first, and he remained a focal point in the lineup despite Chicago’s late-game struggles.

Tauchman capped a rally with a go-ahead two-run double, fueling the early Sox surge. His multi-hit night and run-scoring power add back-end outfielder value, especially when the lineup supports him with depth and protection.
