Expected to miss 10-14 days Tauchman was diagnosed with a mild knee strain and is expected to miss 10-14 days, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Tauchman was already placed on the injured list prior to this timeline, so the news is relatively positive. The Giants maintained their depth in the outfield by activating Jaylin Davis (knee) from the injured list.

Lands on injured list Tauchman was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a sprained right knee, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Tauchman suffered the injury Tuesday against the Dodgers while making a tumbling catch on the warning track, and he'll now be sidelined until at least July 10. Jaylin Davis (knee) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move to shore up San Francisco's outfield depth.

Heading in for MRI Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that Tauchman would undergo an MRI on Wednesday after sustaining a mild right knee contusion and potentially a sprain when he made an acrobatic catc...
Impact Tauchman was able to flag down a deep fly ball off the bat of Walker Buehler to deny the Dodgers a potential extra-base hit, but it came at the price of the outfielder sacrificing his body. The 30-year-old was temporarily able to stay in the game and proceeded to deliver a base hit in the top of the third, but he was removed one inning later in favor of Darin Ruf. Kapler indicated that Tauchman didn't appear to be running well after suffering the injury, so the Giants will send him in for further tests to get a better sense of his health. After an off day Wednesday, the Giants will return to action Thursday in Arizona.

Swats fourth homer Tauchman went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Angels.
Impact Tauchman entered the 13th inning having gone 0-for-5, though he delivered a game-sealing three-run homer to make his lone hit of the game count. He now has four long balls on the season, with this shot marking his second of June. Since Alex Dickerson returned from the injured list, Tauchman has been relegated to a reserve role when the Giants don't have the benefit of a designated hitter.

Slugs grand slam Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a grand slam Tuesday against the Rangers.
Impact Tauchman flipped the outcome of the game with one swing of the bat in the eighth inning, ripping his third home run of the season to put the Giants up for good. It was his first homer since May 15, though his playing time should be steadier given the current injury to Mike Yastrzemski (thumb). Even so, Tauchman has done little with his opportunities to this point in the season by hitting just .190/.310/.298 across 143 plate appearances.
