ANALYSISTauchman missed a month of action with a strained left groin but has been cleared to return to action after playing in a couple rehab games. His playing-time outlook is a bit cloudy with the Cubs electing to deploy
Christopher Morel at designated hitter lately, but in the short term with
Cody Bellinger (finger) on the shelf, Tauchman should see at least semi-regular starts versus righties. He won't be in the lineup Friday versus right-hander
Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks, however.
