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.
