Rotowire
Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a double and four RBI in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Angels.

He's hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-23 (.348) with eight RBI in that span. He continues to see more than just a platoon role in left field, though he cedes some at-bats to Colby Thomas when the Athletics face a left-handed pitcher. Soderstrom is up to a .273/.345/.469 slash line with 23 home runs, 85 RBI, 69 runs scored, 29 doubles and seven stolen bases through 142 contests this season.
Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

While starting in each of the Athletics' last 16 games, Soderstrom slashed .323/.400/.452 with one home run, one stolen base, nine RBI and seven runs.
