Shipped to San Francisco Tauchman was traded to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for Wandy Peralta, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Impact Tauchman has been the subject of trade rumors for years, given how crowded the Yankees' outfield always seems to be. He should finally get a fair shake at playing time with his new club, although the Giants like utilizing platoons, so he may sit against most lefties, at least early on.

Still working out at first base Tauchman has continued practicing at first base during the regular season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Tauchman took reps at the position during spring training, and there seems to be some interest -- at least on his part -- in seeing time at first base this season. "I can play four positions (as a left-handed thrower), so why not play all four?" he stated recently. The 30-year-old might benefit with more at-bats if the Yankees see him as an option at first, especially while Luke Voit (knee) remains out. As it stands, Tauchman has gotten only one at-bat thus far this season, though he has swiped two bags as a pinch runner.

Skipper downplays injury Manager Aaron Boone described Tauchman's (shin) removal from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies as precautionary, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Tauchman exited the contest in the bottom of the third after having previously fouled a ball of his shin/calf area during his at-bat in the top of of the second. Boone said that Tauchman won't be sent in for any further tests, so the Yankees are seemingly hopeful that the outfielder will be good to go for Opening Day simply by addressing his leg with ice treatment over the next few days.

Suffers apparent ankle injury Tauchman was removed in the third inning of Sunday's Grapefruit League game with an ankle injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ryan LaMarre subbed into the contest for Tauchman, who initially hurt his ankle when he fouled a ball off himself in his second-inning at-bat, which culminated in a strikeout. Tauchman was able to stay in the game and played the outfield for the subsequent half inning, but he appeared to be in obvious pain. The 30-year-old had already been informed that he would be included on the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder, but the injury -- if serious -- could change those plans.

Makes Opening Day roster Tauchman will begin the regular season in the majors, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact Tauchman has slashed .259/.394/.593 with three home runs, four RBI and two stolen bases in 11 spring games this year and was rewarded with a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll serve as a depth option in the outfield and could also see some playing time at first base behind Jay Bruce since Luke Voit (knee) is out to begin the regular season.

Open to playing first base Tauchman stated Saturday that he hasn't been approached by the Yankees about playing first base, but that he's open to the idea, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Tauchman also noted that he played some first base in college, perhaps as a nudge to the organization to find a way to get him playing time. Per Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, the 30-year-old focused his offseason on crafting a "tighter and flatter" bat path after realizing that his power drop last year was caused by his bat path being "out of whack." Though Tauchman is an excellent defender in the outfield, it remains to be seen where he fits on the Yankees' depth chart, and his offensive struggles last season may have him on the outside looking in for a roster spot.

Happ, Frazier lift Yanks over Red Sox for 10th straight win
JSEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Playing time trending down Tauchman remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact The Yankees have welcomed back the likes of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gio Urshela back from the injured list over the last two days, and Gleyber Torres' eventual return from a quadriceps injury will put New York's star-studded lineup back at full strength. All of those returns spell bad news for Tauchman, who finds himself out of the lineup for the fourth time in five games. All of Judge, Aaron Hicks, Clint Frazier and Brett Gardner appear to be ahead of him for starts in the outfield.

Retreats to bench Tauchman is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.
Impact Tauchman is 4-for-18 with zero homers and one steal this month, and three of those four hits came in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against Baltimore. Clint Frazier will get the start in right field while Gary Sanchez starts at designated hitter.

Collects three hits in matinee Tauchman went 3-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader sweep over the Orioles.
Impact Tauchman did not play in the nightcap, but he got the start and swatted three singles in the opener. He plated the Yankees' final run in the seven-inning win with a base hit to center field. The three-hit game helped Tauchman snap a 12-game slump in which he had collected only two base knocks in 29 at-bats, though he did draw eight walks over that span. The outfielder is slashing .265/.367/.325 on the season.
