On bench Tuesday Tauchman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Tauchman has just four hits and one RBI in his last 21 at-bats, continuing what's been a tough month offensively after the late-April trade that made him the Giants' starting center fielder. Steven Duggar gets the start in center field Tuesday.

Reaches base three times in loss Tauchman went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Tauchman struck out in his first at-bat but reached in all three of his other plate appearances while scoring twice. The 30-year-old is slashing .211/.333/.329 with two home runs, eight RBI, 14 runs scored and a 14:25 BB:K over his first 22 games with the Giants. He's going to keep splitting time in the outfield with Steven Duggar and Austin Slater if his hitting struggles continue.

Steals base, scores twice in win Tauchman went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact The outfielder stole second and scored on an Alex Dickerson fielder's choice in the first inning. In the ninth, Tauchman got aboard with a walk and scored on Mike Yastrzemski's two-run home run. Through 27 games between the Yankees and the Giants, Tauchman has a .208/.305/.347 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases. If he doesn't improve at the plate, the 30-year-old could lose playing time to Steven Duggar or Austin Slater now that San Francisco's outfield is at full health.

Swats second homer Tauchman went 1-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.
Impact His sixth-inning blast off Kyle Keller capped the scoring for the Giants, giving the team a 6-2 lead the bullpen couldn't hold. Tauchman has yet to manage a multi-hit performance in May, slashing .170/.278/.340 through 13 games with both his homers on the year, and with Alex Dickerson (shoulder) about to return from the IL, he may no longer be guaranteed a regular spot in the lineup.

Draws three walks Tauchman went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Texas. He was also caught stealing once.
Impact Tauchman has often hit leadoff since he joined the Giants via a trade from the Yankees in April. The outfielder is slashing .233/.313/.372 in his Giants tenure. He's produced one home run, five RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs scored across 64 plate appearances overall.

Belt slam in 10-run 1st lifts Giants over Rockies in opener
Brandon Belt hit a go-ahead single and a grand slam in a 10-run first inning that propelled the San Francisco Giants over the Colorado Rockies 12-4 in a doubleheader openerMAY 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Takes over leadoff role Tauchman will start in center field and bat leadoff in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact With the Giants placing Tommy La Stella (hamstring) on the injured list earlier in the day, Tauchman will get the first opportunity to step in as the team's new table setter against right-handed pitching. Since coming over from the Yankees in an April 27 trade, Tauchman has needed little time to cement himself as a regular in the lineup. He'll be picking up his fifth straight start Tuesday after going 5-for-16 with a home run, a double and five RBI in his first four games with San Francisco.

Plates four in win Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk but had four total RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres.
Impact Tauchman launched his first home run in a Giants uniform when he pulled a cutter over the wall in right to give his team a 4-1 lead. The 30-year-old had just three hits and did not have an RBI while scoring just one run in 11 games for the Yankees before being shipped off to San Francisco. He's found life in his new threads, as he's notched five hits and five RBI in his first four games as a member of the Giants. Tauchman should continue to see regular playing time while Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) remains on the 10-day injured list.

Stars in San Francisco debut Tauchman went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over Colorado.
Impact Tauchman made a strong impression in his first game with the Giants, matching his hit total from 14 at-bats with the Yankees prior to the trade. He started in center field and could see considerable time there while Mike Yastrzemski recovers from an oblique injury. Tauchman turned some heads with New York in 2019 before fading last season, so he'll be looking to establish himself for a Giants team that is surprisingly tied for the best record in the National League.

Batting seventh in Giants debut Tauchman is starting in center field and batting seventh Wednesday against the Rockies, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact With righty German Marquez on the hill for Colorado, it stands to reason that Tauchman would be in the lineup for his Giants debut after getting traded from New York on Tuesday. Austin Slater will start against almost every lefty, but there could still be room for Tauchman against some same-handed pitching if he earns the playing time.
