New York Mets outfielder Mike Tauchman, who was plagued by knee issues last season with the Chicago White Sox, has suffered another knee injury that will require surgery. Tauachman tore the meniscus in his left knee during a spring training game against the Houston Astros. In his stead, highly touted rookie Carson Benge is expected to play an important role in the team. Benge, who ranks as a Top 20 prospect, has been performing well this spring and is batting at a steady pace with the Mets.
