Everything went as planned, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post , and the veteran outfielder is now expected to miss six weeks before working his way back into game action.

Tauchman was in the mix for a Mets roster spot before going down with the injury late in camp.
He was putting together a strong showing, spending time in all three outfield positions and racking up a .371 OBP across 13 Grapefruit League games.
New York will instead lean on Tyrone Taylor and Jared Young as their outfield depth behind Juan Soto , Luis Robert Jr , and Carson Bengefor the time being.
They also made an addition early in the day Thursday, bringing back Tommy Pham on a minor league deal.
