Eligibility
Mike Tauchman went 2-for-4 in the Cubs' 6-3 loss to the Padres, adding a double, a run scored, a stolen base, a walk, and a strikeout.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's defeat, Tauchman's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to contribute across multiple categories. His season batting average holds steady at .278, and his on-base skills are highlighted by a solid .382 wOBA and a .168 walk rate. While his power numbers aren't eye-popping, his ability to get on base and score runs, coupled with occasional stolen bases, makes him a useful, if not spectacular, option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Fantasy managers would be wise to look for consistent power displays in future games before adjusting expectations significantly.
