    • Reclaiming playing time at first base
      Soderstrom will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom has now started in three of Oakland's last four matchups with right-handed pitchers and appears to have displaced J.D. Davis as the Athletics' preferred option at the position. Soderstrom is still likely to occupy the strong side of a platoon at first base with either Davis or Aledmys Diaz.

    • Not starting Thursday
      Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Soderstrom has now started just two of the last eight games for the Athletics and is hitless across his last six contests, so the 22-year-old would seem to be in danger of a demotion. Aledmys Diaz will get the nod at first base for Oakland on Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:24 am
       
    • Tyler Soderstrom starts at first base for A’s
      Tyler Soderstrom is in Oakland’s lineup Wednesday for just the second time in six games.

      Advice: It’s kind of surprising that the 22-year-old Soderstrom is still with the major league club, especially since the A’s still at least nominally view him as a catcher — 21 of his 27 Triple-A starts came at the position — and he’s just serving a backup first baseman right now. He’s hit .205/.296/.359 in 44 plate appearances since being recalled May 8. He started nine of the first 13 games after the callup, all of them at first base, but he’s even sitting against most righties lately. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:29 pm
       
    • Losing hold of regular role
      Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with three of his absences coming when the Athletics have faced right-handed starters. After slashing .211/.302/.368 since getting called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 8, Soderstrom appears to have lost hold of his regular role at first base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:13 pm
       
    • Sitting for third straight game
      Soderstrom isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Friday will mark the third straight game Soderstrom has been left out of Oakland's starting lineup, though he has entered as a pinch hitter in each of the last two contests. J.D. Davis will get the nod at first base once again while Soderstrom sits. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:06 pm
