Player Outlook
Tyler Soderstrom suffered an unfortunate wrist injury in early July which forced him to the sidelines for two months, but when he was on the field he did some really interesting things. The batted-ball data for Soderstrom in particular jumped off the page, as he boasted a 49.6 percent hard-hit rate and 14.6 percent barrel rate, numbers which would have put him in the top-20 in baseball had he seen enough action to qualify. One concern with Soderstrom is that he feasted on fastballs (.447 xwOBA) but did very little against breaking balls (.227 xwOBA) or offspeed pitches (.263 xwOBA), so some adjustments will be needed. The 23-year-old was able to cut his strikeout rate to 24.9 percent last season, but his track record pre-2024 suggests contact could be an issue. What's not in question is Soderstrom's power, and he should benefit from a move away from Oakland Coliseum. Soderstrom will not have catcher eligibility heading into 2025, and with Shea Langeliers around it's unclear whether he'll get it back.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Starts another spring game at catcher

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom started at catcher in Sunday's spring training loss to the Giants. While it's unlikely that Soderstrom will be the backup catcher in addition to being the starter at first base, manager Mark Kotsay said he could play the position during the regular season, MLB.com reports. Jhonny Pereda has likely won the backup catcher job behind Shea Langeliers, but it's possible Soderstrom could get enough playing time at catcher to qualify in some fantasy leagues. Soderstrom played just one game at catcher in the majors but logged 21 games at the position in Triple-A in 2024.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Still in mix as catcher

    Rotowire
    The A's are open to Soderstrom serving as their backup catcher this season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Soderstrom has progressively seen his playing time behind the plate dwindle as his professional career has progressed, and he appeared there only once in 61 big-league games last season. He's projected to serve as the A's primary first baseman to begin the season, though the team is considering him as the backup to Shea Langeliers to maximize their roster flexibility. While Soderstrom won't enter the season with catcher eligibility in most formats, his potential to pick it up during the campaign would be a significant boost to his fantasy appeal.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Hits ninth homer Saturday

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Swats pair of doubles in win

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. The rookie drove home Shea Langeliers in the first inning with his first double and later added his ninth double 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Gets aboard four times

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI, two walks and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Resting against lefty

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Belts eighth homer

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: First hits since return

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Cubs on Monday. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Scores run in return from IL

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom, 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. 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."

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Activated from IL

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (wrist) was activated from the injured list and is starting at first base and batting seventh Saturday against the White Sox. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Plays seven innings on defense

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (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. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Big day at plate in Vegas

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (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. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Nearly ready for rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports. 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. Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Begins hitting progression

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (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. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Plays catch Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (wrist) played catch before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, the Associated Press reports. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Still donning splint

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom (wrist) remains sidelined from baseball activity and is slated to wear a splint for several more days, MLB.com reports. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Testing reveals further details

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom 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. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Lands on injured list

    Rotowire
    The Athletics placed Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left wrist bone bruise, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting versus southpaw

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore. 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.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels. 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.
