Tyler Soderstrom went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Red Sox with a solo home run and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom continues a torrid stretch of late, getting on base in 13 of his last 14 contests. The 24-year-old offers manager Mark Kotsay one of the few explosive bats as part of an injury-plagued Athletics lineup, carrying an .831 OPS with 17 home runs, 50 RBI, 50 runs scored, and one stolen base across 94 games.

Tyler Soderstrom went 2-for-4 in Saturday's win over the Nationals with a home run, three runs scored, two RBI, and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom has flashed his power stroke of late, homering in three of his last four contests. The outfielder remains one of the more explosive options as part of an inconsistent Athletics lineup for manager Mark Kotsay, posting an .830 OPS with 16 home runs, 46 RBI, 47 runs scored, and one stolen base across 86 games.

Tyler Soderstrom went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Nationals with a two-run home run.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom has heated up of late, getting on base in four of his last five contests. The outfielder continues to flash explosive potential as part of a streaky Athletics lineup to this point, posting an .817 OPS with 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 44 runs scored, and one stolen base across 85 games.

Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Soderstrom will be held out of the lineup against White Sox southpaw Noah Schultz for the series finale after he went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and walk while starting in the Athletics' first two games in Chicago. Colby Thomas will spell Soderstrom in left field and will bat fifth Sunday.

The Athletics reinstated Soderstrom (hip) from the 10-day injured list, and he'll start at designated hitter and bat cleanup during Wednesday's game in Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom rejoined the Athletics after spending just one day over the minimum amount of time on the shelf while he recovered from a left hip impingement. The Athletics optioned infielder Max Muncy to Triple-A Las Vegas to open up a spot on the active roster for Soderstrom, who looks poised to reclaim an everyday role heading into the All-Star break. Before heading to the IL, Soderstrom had produced an .803 OPS with 13 home runs, one stolen base, 41 RBI and 41 runs over 80 games on the season.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that Soderstrom (hip) is progressing well with his baseball activities and could return to the active roster "very soon," Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom has been hitting, running and going through outfield drills without any apparent issues with his left hip impingement. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list now, but it's possible Soderstrom will be asked to go out on a rehab assignment first. The Athletics should have more clarity on a timeline for the outfielder later this week.

Soderstrom (hip) hasn't resumed baseball activities since landing on the 10-day injured list June 29 and will remain out through the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics likely won't have a more precise target date for Soderstrom's return until the discomfort in his right hip has subsided enough for him to take part in full hitting and fielding drills. While Soderstrom is on the shelf, Carlos Cortes and Colby Thomas could end up forming a platoon in left field, though Zack Gelof may also get some looks at the position if the Athletics are keen on opening up more opportunities in the infield for the likes of Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Alika Williams and Max Muncy.

The Athletics placed Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left hip impingement.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom sustained the injury in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels and sat out the series finale Sunday before the Athletics made the decision to deactivate him. The severity of Soderstrom's hip impingement isn't known, and though he'll be eligible to come off the IL on July 8, the Athletics could elect to hold him out for the final week before the All-Star break to afford him ample time to heal up from the injury. Colby Thomas likely represents the top candidate to receive more starts in left field while Soderstrom is on the shelf.

Soderstrom (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom will receive some maintenance for his sore left hip after striking out in his lone at-bat Saturday before the Athletics lifted him in the bottom of the third inning. Manager Mark Kotsay said Soderstrom was scheduled for a re-evaluation Sunday, after which the Athletics should have a better idea whether the 24-year-old's hip issue is a day-to-day concern or something that will require a trip to the injured list. The Athletics will go with Colby Thomas as their starter in left field during the series finale in Anaheim.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said after Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels that Soderstrom was removed in the bottom of the third inning due to left hip tightness, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports. Soderstrom struck out in his lone at-bat before departing.

EDGE Analysis

Kotsay indicated that Soderstrom will be re-evaluated Sunday, which likely indicates that the 24-year-old won't be featured in the lineup for the series finale. The Athletics should have a better sense of Soderstrom's outlook once the evaluation is completed, but a lengthy absence would open the door for Carlos Cortes and Colby Thomas to see more opportunities.
