We’re back to give him more love as he snapped a mini slump on Wednesday with a four-point showing that included one goal.

Tauchman is by no means a great hitter, but he did a bit better in this regard while proving he can be a useful Fantasy asset last season. Don’t forget that run he had with the Yankees back in 2019; if he can come close to duplicating that, he’ll more than just a deep league asset.
