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.

Soderstrom went 3-for-3 with a double, three runs scored and two walks in Friday's extra-inning win over the Angels.

Soderstrom has torn the cover off the ball in June, slashing .305/.431/.661 with six homers, three doubles, 14 RBI and 13 runs scored across 17 games this month.

After Shea Langeliers blasted a three-run homer in the first frame, Soderstrom followed suit with a solo shot of his own to give the Athletics an early 4-0 lead. The left fielder has been on a lengthy tear, batting .318 with eight homers over his past 25 games. This stretch has helped offset a cold start to the campaign, with the 24-year-old's overall numbers sitting at .235/.332/.470 with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 36 runs and a stolen base across 72 contests.

For the season, the outfielder is batting .241 with an .814 OPS, 12 long balls, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and a stolen base over 68 contests. His recent hitting is helping him get closer to the production he displayed last year, though his .257 BABIP on the campaign suggests he is still waiting for his luck to fully come back.

Soderstrom is not starting versus Colorado on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Soderstrom is getting a breather with the Rockies sending southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound. It's the fourth time in five games that the A's are going up against a lefty starter, but Soderstrom started each of those first three contests, so he's not in a platoon situation. However, Colby Thomas is spelling Soderstrom in left field Saturday.

Since May 20, the 24-year-old is slashing .371/.487/.694 with five homers, 14 RBI and seven runs across 18 appearances.
