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.

As Soderstrom sits Tuesday, Colby Thomas will start in left and bat third.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Blasts fourth homer in win
Rotowire
Soderstrom went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
Soderstrom was the last of three Athletics hitters to homer, driving a solo shot off lefty Parker Messick in the fifth inning to go back-to-back with Zack Gelof. Coming off a breakout campaign with an .820 OPS in 2025, Soderstrom hasn't gotten off to a stellar start in 2026, though he has still produced at times, and Sunday's effort was a step in the right direction. Through 32 games, the left fielder is slashing .221/.304/.426 with four homers, 11 doubles, a triple, 19 RBI, 17 runs and a stolen base.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting Wednesday
Rotowire
Soderstrom (shoulder/head) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Soderstrom landed awkwardly on his right side after attempting to make a diving catch in left field Tuesday and was eventually taken out of the game. Manager Mark Kotsay said after the contest that the 24-year-old hasn't displayed any signs of a concussion but is dealing with some soreness, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, and the A's will opt to keep him on the bench Wednesday. Carlos Cortes will pick up a start in left field as a result and bat third.
Soderstrom was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with an apparent shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Soderstrom landed awkwardly on his right shoulder while trying to make a diving catch in the fifth inning and needed a minute to regroup afterward. The A's made the call to pull him in the sixth and will presumably send him in for testing to determine the severity of his injury. Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes stand to benefit from extra playing time if Soderstrom has to miss any time.
