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.
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' Tyler Soderstrom: Could return 'very soon'
Rotowire
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.
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.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Will sit through All-Star break
Rotowire
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.
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.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Heads to injured list
Rotowire
The Athletics placed Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left hip impingement.
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.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Getting day off to rest hip
Rotowire
Soderstrom (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
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' Tyler Soderstrom: Exits Saturday with hip tightness
Rotowire
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.
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.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Clubs 13th homer
Rotowire
Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Angels.
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.

Rotowire
Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Rockies.
Soderstrom continues to flex power in June with five homers over 12 games this month. He's batting .317 (13-for-41) with 13 RBI in that span. 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.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Hitting bench vs. southpaw
Rotowire
Soderstrom is not starting versus Colorado on Saturday.
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.

Rotowire
Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-6 loss against the Cubs.

Soderstrom's hitting streak is now up to 10 games, during which he is batting .417 with three homers, three doubles, six RBI and five runs. The hot stretch has significantly boosted the left fielder's numbers on the season, raising his OPS from .655 to .750 across 59 contests.
Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Perfect at plate Saturday
Rotowire
Soderstrom went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Yankees.
Soderstrom has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, including four multi-hit efforts. He's 14-for-36 (.389) with six extra-base hits and six RBI in that span. It's a welcome sight for the outfielder after his slow start this season. Even after that hot stretch, he's batting just .223 with a .739 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored, one stolen base, 17 doubles and two triples through 55 contests while occupying a near-everyday role in left field.
Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.
Soderstrom logged two of the A's four hits in the defeat, and he kept the team from being shut out with a solo blast to center field off Andres Munoz in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old snapped a 17-game homerless stretch during which he batted just .169 with only four RBI. Soderstrom broke out last season with an .820 OPS and 25 home runs across 158 contests, but he's far below those paces this year with six homers and a .682 OPS through 52 games.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Drives in three runs Wednesday
Rotowire
Soderstrom went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Angels.
Soderstrom was a key contributor in the Athletics' win, opening the scoring with a two-run single in the first inning before delivering what proved to be the game-winning hit with another RBI single in the 10th frame.

After a breakout 2025 campaign in which he posted an .820 OPS across 158 games, Soderstrom hasn't yet clicked to the same degree in 2026, slashing .194/.276/.371 with five homers, 14 doubles, a triple, 23 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base through 46 appearances.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting versus lefty
Rotowire
Soderstrom is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.
The Angels have southpaw Reid Detmers starting Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom will take a seat. Soderstrom has struggled in 2026 with a .190/.275/.375 slash line, down across the board from 2025. His dip versus lefties has been even worse with a .738 OPS in 2025 and just a .426 OPS in 2026. As Soderstrom sits Tuesday, Colby Thomas will start in left and bat third.
