Losing Tauchman this late into the season really stinks for the team, but mostly for him. Up until the final week of Spring Training, he wasn’t even on the Yankees roster but he turned out to be one of their top unsung heroes. Without his contributions, this team wouldn’t be tied for the best record in baseball entering play today.
Even with Tauchman out the Yankees are deep enough with outfielders that they should be ok without him for the rest of the regular season. However, come October he is certainly going to be missed.
