Tauchman has been a valuable member of the NL-best Giants ever since being traded from the Yankees earlier this season. Specifically, he has made numerous key plays defensively. His offense hasn't been as tremendous, though, as he's slashing just .180/.292/.295 through 52 games in San Francisco.

Tauchman made a fantastic catch in right field in the second inning of Tuesday's game, robbing Walker Buehler of extra bases. He got twisted around while tracking the ball but was able to recover for the catch near the warning track. He was slow to get up afterward and eventually left the game in the fourth inning with was described as a "mild right knee contusion" but manager Gabe Kapler told reporters that it could be a sprain as well. The Giants, who are already missing Mike Yastrzemski, will eagerly await the results of Tauchman's MRI on Wednesday.
