Tyler Soderstrom's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Oakland Athletics first baseman Tyler Soderstrom's second homer of the season was the sole highlight of Monday's 6-1 loss at the San Diego Padres. Soderstrom went deep off of Dylan Cease in the top of the second inning, his first since he homered against the Texas Rangers on May 8 in his first game after being called up. The rookie is hitting .200/.324/.350, however, Soderstrom is hitting .250/.368/.438 with an .806 OPS in 16 at-bats this month. Soderstrom is a promising source of power, and if the A's continue to be patient, he is capable of production that fantasy managers should keep an eye on as the season goes on in deeper leagues.

Oakland Athletics catcher Tyler Soderstrom was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. Soderstrom will get a little more seasoning in the minors while Shea Langeliers handles primary catcher duties on the big league squad. The move makes sense, as Soderstrom was slashing just .115/.172/.154 in 29 plate appearances this spring. Baseball America's number 73 prospect is still just 22 years old and has put up good numbers in the minors before, so dynasty owners shouldn't be too worried about him yet.
