The 22-year-old had struggled to get anything going earlier in the season, but he's now at a .222/.347/.413 slash line with three homers, eight RBI and five runs scored over 75 plate appearances.

Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Soderstrom has now started in three of Oakland's last four matchups against 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.
