Sep 29 2024Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom launched his ninth home run of the season in the sixth inning, a 369-foot solo shot that knotted the score at 3-3. The rookie has now hit safely in five of the last six games, and heading into the regular-season finale Sunday, he boasts a .282 batting average and .887 OPS in 43 plate appearances since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.
Sep 25 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie drove home Shea Langeliers in the first inning with his first double and later added his ninth two-bagger of the season. Soderstrom's bat has caught fire after he went 0-for-7 over his first two games back from the injured list, as he's hitting .471 (8-for-17) with four extra-base hits, five RBI, two walks and three runs over his last five games.
Sep 22 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI, two walks and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom logged multiple hits for the third time in his last four games, and he also drew a walk for the first time since he returned from a wrist injury. He's held down more than a strong-side platoon at first base since his return, though he's not in the lineup versus every southpaw. Soderstrom is slashing .229/.314/.416 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 16 runs scored and two doubles over 142 plate appearances as a rookie this season.
Sep 21 2024Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With left-hander Carlos Rodon set to start on the bump for New York, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will stay put in Oakland's dugout to begin Saturday's contest. In his absence, Tyler Nevin will get the starting nod at first base and bat seventh.
Sep 18 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He got the A's on the board in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Ethan Roberts. It was Soderstrom's first homer in four games since being activated from the IL, and his eighth of the year in 53 contests. With four hits in two games during this series at Wrigley Field, the 22-year-old has boosted his slash line on the season to .224/.304/.410.
Sep 17 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Cubs on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom had gone 0-for-7 in his first two games back from the injured list, but he was able to break the ice Monday by generating one of the Athletics' trio of two-hit efforts. Soderstrom is slated to continue seeing everyday playing time at first base for what remains of the regular season, ahead of what figures to be a pivotal offseason for his development.
Sep 15 2024Soderstrom, who was activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-5 with a run in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom made his first MLB appearance since July 9 after overcoming his wrist injury, but he wasn't able to carry over the red-hot bat he'd wielded during his minor-league rehab assignment. Nevertheless, the rookie is expected to get plenty of chances to rediscover his stroke before the end of the regular season, as MLB.com reports manager Mark Kotsay plans to give Soderstrom "the bulk of the first-base reps" down the stretch of the campaign. "I think the focus these next 14 games is to keep him healthy," Kotsay said. "Allow him to finish the season and go into the offseason with a good frame of mind [knowing] that he's healthy and can go train and prepare for next year."
Sep 14 2024Soderstrom (wrist) was activated from the injured list and is starting at first base and batting seventh Saturday against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom missed the last two months with a bone bruise on his left wrist. Prior to being activated, he went 9-for-20 with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and four walks during a rehab assignment for Triple-A Las Vegas. Soderstrom didn't get the call-up this season until May and got off to a slow start, but he hit six homers with a 19.8 percent strikeout rate in his 100 at-bats prior to hitting the IL, and Oakland will likely give him steady playing time against right-handed pitching down the stretch.
Sep 12 2024Soderstrom (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series against the White Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has gone 8-for-16 with three home runs in five rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas to show the Athletics he's ready. He's been sidelined since early July with a stress reaction in his left wrist. Soderstrom should be in line for regular reps at first base with Oakland upon activation.
Sep 11 2024Soderstrom (wrist) played the first seven innings of Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Albuquerque on Tuesday at first base and went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a triple, a walk and two runs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom's stint in the field was the longest yet of his rehab assignment, and he continued to show plenty of proficiency with the bat as well. The rookie's time on the farm is essentially going about as well as could be expected, and he could therefore be in line for activation by the end of the week.
Sep 9 2024Soderstrom (wrist) took a full game's worth of plate appearances as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Round Rock on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and two walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Not only was Soderstrom able to play in back-to-back games for the first time during his rehab assignment, but he more than demonstrated his previously injured wrist was up to the task with his productive evening with the bat. Soderstrom seems to quickly be working off any rust from his near two-month layoff, as he's hitting .333 with Sunday's round tripper and five total RBI over his first three rehab games.
Sep 8 2024Soderstrom (wrist) started at first base and played six innings in a rehab game for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, going 0-for-3. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom had the night off Friday after making his rehab-assignment debut as the designated hitter Thursday and slugging a two-run home run. The rookie took the important step of getting on the field Saturday, and he should continue ramping up his participation level in coming days with Las Vegas as he works to shake the rust from a near two-month layoff.
Sep 6 2024Soderstrom (wrist) went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Round Rock on Thursday, hitting a two-run home run. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom was making his first rehab appearance and slugged the round tripper in his final plate appearance of the game in the sixth inning. It was the rookie's first taste of game action since July 9, and he'll need to see action on defense before his activation from the IL is considered.
Sep 3 2024Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment that could come close to carrying through the minor-league regular season's Sept. 22 conclusion, given Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.
Aug 31 2024Soderstrom (wrist) continues in his hitting progression and could next hit foam balls off a pitching machine in coming days, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie continues to progress without any reported setbacks, keeping him on track for a return at some point before the end of the regular season. Soderstrom could potentially begin hitting off the machine before the weekend is out, and if that step goes off without issue, a progression to swinging at baseballs may be next.
Aug 26 2024Soderstrom (wrist) has been hitting off a tee and is slated to start a soft toss hitting program near the end of the week, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie has been ramping up his activity level in recent days, playing catch for the first first time on Wednesday and then advancing to swinging a bat over the weekend. Soderstrom still projects for a return at some point in September, which would give him an opportunity to build some momentum before heading into what is expected to be a key offseason for his development.
Aug 22 2024Soderstrom (wrist) played catch before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom began his strengthening program earlier this week and Wednesday's activity was part of his progression. There's still no word on when the rookie might be able to get some swings in rehab games, but he still seems to be well on track to return to the big-league roster before the end of the regular season.
Aug 14 2024Soderstrom (wrist) began a strengthening program Monday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie has yet to resume baseball activities and is without a timetable for return, but this news is nevertheless a small step in the right direction. Given Soderstrom is still taking relatively modest steps in his recovery, however, a return prior to the end of August seems increasingly unlikely.
Aug 5 2024Soderstrom (wrist) remains sidelined from baseball activity and is slated to wear a splint for several more days, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom is slated to keep the splint until at least Saturday, and he won't be able to start baseball activities until he's shed it. Soderstrom will presumably need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he's deemed ready for that step, considering he went on the IL on July 11 and is seemingly still multiple weeks away from being cleared for game action.
Jul 13 2024Soderstrom suffered a stress reaction but not a fracture of his wrist according to recent tests, and he is currently donning a splint, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Mark Kotsay expressed relief at the test results, which he described as the best-case scenario for the promising rookie. Soderstrom is slated to wear the splint for up to 10 days before beginning a regimen of strengthening exercises as the next step in his recovery. Given the nature of the injury, he appears likely to require more than a minimum-length stay on the injured list.
Jul 11 2024The Athletics placed Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left wrist bone bruise, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has gone just 4-for-22 with two RBI since the beginning of July, and his wrist injury will now hold him out of action until shortly after the All-Star break. Tyler Nevin and Armando Alvarez are likely to see action at first base while Soderstrom is out, and Seth Brown will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the open spot on the active roster.
Jul 10 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tyler Nevin will draw the start at first base while Soderstrom heads to the bench for the second time in four games. The 22-year-old has fallen into a rut at the plate over his last 10 contests, going 6-for-37 (.162 average) with a home run and three RBI.
Jul 8 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom drove home JJ Bleday with his sixth-inning two-bagger for the Athletics' first run of the afternoon. The multi-hit effort was his first since June 21, and it snapped a 1-for-16 skid that had encompassed his previous four games. The double was also a welcome sight from another perspective, as Soderstrom counted a solo home run against the Diamondbacks on June 28 as his only hit greater than a single over the 11 games prior to Sunday.
Jul 6 2024Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Cade Povich will start on the mound for the O's, forcing the lefty-hitting Soderstrom into the dugout to begin Saturday's contest. In his place, Armando Alvarez will start at first base and bat fifth.
Jun 28 2024Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has hit all but one of his homers this season over his last 17 games, batting .262 (16-for-61) in that span. The 22-year-old is at a .229/.321/.449 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles across 41 contests overall. He's seen regular playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers.
Jun 25 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom will head to the bench for the first time since June 5, and he posted a .279/.353/.557 slash line with five homers and 12 RBI during that 18-game stretch. Tyler Nevin is starting at first base against lefty Tyler Anderson on Tuesday.
Jun 23 2024Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom squared up on a Bailey Ober offering in the second and sent it 419 feet to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the afternoon. The rookie has slugged five of his first six big-league homers in the last 12 games, a stretch where he's boasting a stellar 1.117 OPS and has averaged exactly one RBI per contest.
Jun 22 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Twins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom's stellar night at the plate began with a first-inning RBI single that plated Abraham Toro (hamstring) and was followed up by a two-bagger in the fifth that drove home Miguel Andujar and Brent Rooker. The rookie has been on a tear at the plate since early June, producing a .314/.397/.588 slash line with six extra-base hits, 11 RBI and an acceptable 20.7 percent strikeout rate across the 58 plate appearances covering his last 15 games.
Jun 16 2024Soderstrom went 4-for-8 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored as the Athletics were swept in Sunday's doubleheader versus the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom had three of his hits, including the homer, during the nightcap. He's hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 13-for-38 (.342) in that span. The 22-year-old is up to a .250/.357/.464 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and three doubles over 31 contests. Soderstrom continues to see steady playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers, and he could push for closer to an everyday role if he continues to hit well.
Jun 14 2024Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Twins on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom got Oakland off to a strong start with a two-run blast in the second inning, but the team was unable to add any additional offense thereafter. The long ball gave the suddenly hot first baseman three homers over his past four games and extended his hitting streak to five contests. Soderstrom is slashing .353/.450/.882 with six RBI, five runs and a 3:2 BB:K over that stretch.
Jun 11 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has homered in back-to-back games, giving him three long balls this season. He's also hit safely in five of his last six contests, going 6-for-17 (.353) in that span. The 22-year-old had struggled to get anything going earlier in the season, but he's now at a .222/.347/.413 slash line with three homers, eight RBI and five runs scored over 75 plate appearances. He appears to have leapfrogged J.D. Davis for the starting role at first base, though Soderstrom would still have the advantage if it ultimately becomes a platoon situation.
Jun 10 2024Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Padres on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom gave Oakland an early lead with a solo homer in the second inning, but that was the only run the team ended up generating. The long ball was Soderstrom's first since his first game of the campaign, which took place May 8 against Texas. He's struggled to a .200 batting average with just six RBI over 71 plate appearances on the campaign, though his 14.1 percent walk rate has kept his OBP at a respectable .324.
Jun 5 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom appeared to have taken hold of a regular role at first base against right-handed pitching, but he's sitting Wednesday for the second straight game versus a righty (Logan Gilbert). J.D. Davis will receive another start at first base and bat sixth.
Jun 2 2024Soderstrom will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom has now started in three of Oakland's last four matchups against right-handed pitchers and appears to have displaced J.D. Davis as the Athletics' preferred option at the position. Soderstrom is still likely to occupy the strong side of a platoon at first base with either Davis or Aledmys Diaz.
May 30 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has now started just two of the last eight games for the Athletics and is hitless across his last six contests, so the 22-year-old would seem to be in danger of a demotion. Aledmys Diaz will get the nod at first base for Oakland on Thursday.
May 26 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with three of his absences coming when the Athletics have faced right-handed starters. After slashing .211/.302/.368 since getting called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 8, Soderstrom appears to have lost hold of his regular role at first base.
May 24 2024Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Friday will mark the third straight game Sodertstrom has been left off Oakland's starting lineup, though he has entered as a pinch hitter in each of the last two contests. J.D. Davis will get the nod at first base once again while Soderstrom sits.
May 23 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom had started each of the previous six games against right-handers, but he'll begin Thursday's contest on the bench as the Athletics take on righty Ryan Feltner. Soderstrom sports a .689 OPS and 42.1 percent strikeout rate in 11 contests with the big club this season. J.D. Davis will cover first base Thursday in Soderstrom's stead.
May 22 2024Soderstrom is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom started the previous three games but will sit Wednesday as lefty Austin Gomber pitches for the Rockies. J.D. Davis will handle first base and bat fifth.
May 17 2024Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will start from the bench as the Athletics take on lefty Cole Ragans. The 22-year-old has started in six of Oakland's last eight games, though J.D. Davis will take the field at first base Friday.
May 15 2024Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will retreat to the bench. Soderstrom appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting J.D. Davis, who will get the starting nod Wednesday.
May 14 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Astros on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom delivered half the offense for the Athletics on the night with his fourth-inning knock, which plated Brent Rooker. The 22-year-old extended the red-hot start to his first big-league stint of 2024 with his multi-hit effort, as he's now reached safely in all four games he's appeared in and has doubled in back-to-back contests.
May 12 2024Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Soderstrom has gone 4-for-12 with one home run and two RBI. He'll be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale while Tyler Nevin gets the start at first base.
May 9 2024Soderstrom went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at first base in the nightcap and batting eighth in his MLB season debut, Soderstrom got hold of a cutter by Jack Leiter and drove it over the fence in left-center field in the fourth inning. Soderstrom's power is legit -- he has two 20-homer campaigns in the minors, and he'd clubbed seven long balls in 27 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his promotion Wednesday -- but Oakland prefers Shea Langeliers' defense behind the plate, and the team's 1B/DH situation is crowded. Playing time could be hard for Soderstrom to come by, even if he does stick around on the big-league roster.
May 8 2024The Athletics recalled Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Soderstrom has slashed .245/.353/.529 with seven home runs over 27 games at Las Vegas this season. The 22-year-old managed just a .472 OPS and 31.2 percent strikeout rate with the Athletics in 2023. Soderstrom will give Oakland a third catcher, and he could also see some action at first base and/or designated hitter.
