"Tauchman has been an above-average hitter in three consecutive years. He's coming off a .263/.356/.400 showing across 385 plate appearances for the White Sox."
"It seems Tauchman will be back on the field sometime in the middle of May. He'll presumably spend some time in Triple-A before the Mets reconsider whether to call him up."
Mike Tauchman underwent meniscus surgery on his left knee and is expected to be out for six weeks. This injury likely cost him a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster. Tauchman, a 35-year-old outfielder on a minor league deal, had a solid chance to make the MLB club. The Mets are expected to call up top prospect Carson Benge as the everyday right fielder. Tauchman has been an above-average hitter in recent years, with a strong on-base percentage due to his patient approach.
