Soderstrom (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series against the White Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom has gone 8-for-16 with three home runs in five rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas to show the Athletics he's ready. He's been sidelined since early July with a stress reaction in his left wrist. Soderstrom should be in line for regular reps at first base with Oakland upon activation.

Soderstrom (wrist) played the first seven innings of Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Albuquerque on Tuesday at first base and went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a triple, a walk and two runs.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom's stint in the field was the longest yet of his rehab assignment, and he continued to show plenty of proficiency with the bat as well. The rookie's time on the farm is essentially going about as well as could be expected, and he could therefore be in line for activation by the end of the week.

Soderstrom (wrist) took a full game's worth of plate appearances as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Round Rock on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Not only was Soderstrom able to play in back-to-back games for the first time during his rehab assignment, but he more than demonstrated his previously injured wrist was up to the task with his productive evening with the bat. Soderstrom seems to quickly be working off any rust from his near two-month layoff, as he's hitting .333 with Sunday's round tripper and five total RBI over his first three rehab games.

Soderstrom (wrist) started at first base and played six innings in a rehab game for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, going 0-for-3.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom had the night off Friday after making his rehab-assignment debut as the designated hitter Thursday and slugging a two-run home run. The rookie took the important step of getting on the field Saturday, and he should continue ramping up his participation level in coming days with Las Vegas as he works to shake the rust from a near two-month layoff.

Soderstrom (wrist) went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Round Rock on Thursday, hitting a two-run home run.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom was making his first rehab appearance and slugged the round tripper in his final plate appearance of the game in the sixth inning. It was the rookie's first taste of game action since July 9, and he'll need to see action on defense before his activation from the IL is considered.

Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment that could come close to carrying through the minor-league regular season's Sept. 22 conclusion, given Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

Soderstrom (wrist) continues in his hitting progression and could next hit foam balls off a pitching machine in coming days, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie continues to progress without any reported setbacks, keeping him on track for a return at some point before the end of the regular season. Soderstrom could potentially begin hitting off the machine before the weekend is out, and if that step goes off without issue, a progression to swinging at baseballs may be next.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Soderstrom (wrist) played catch before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderstrom began his strengthening program earlier this week and Wednesday's activity was part of his progression. There's still no word on when the rookie might be able to get some swings in rehab games, but he still seems to be well on track to return to the big-league roster before the end of the regular season.

Soderstrom (wrist) began a strengthening program Monday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has yet to resume baseball activities and is without a timetable for return, but this news is nevertheless a small step in the right direction. Given Soderstrom is still taking relatively modest steps in his recovery, however, a return prior to the end of August seems increasingly unlikely.
