Mike Tauchman Poised for Reserve Role with Mets

After signing a minor league deal in February, 35-year-old outfielder Mike Tauchman appears set to make the Mets' major league roster. Coming off a 115 wRC+ season with the White Sox, Tauchman provides versatility with minimal platoon splits. While Carson Benge is expected to start in right field, Tauchman is projected to serve as a reserve outfielder and bench bat, potentially seeing 2-3 starts per week at DH or in the outfield.
