  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Athletics optioned Soderstrom to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

    Soderstrom got off to a slow start in spring training, and the struggles continued. The catcher posted a .370 OPS across 34 plate appearances in 14 games. At Triple-A Las Vegas in 2023, the 22-year-old had a .833 OPS. This move points to Carlos Perez opening the season as the backup catcher for Oakland.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Slow start to spring

    Soderstrom, who dealt with an illness earlier in spring training, is 1-for-8 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a run over his first four exhibitions.

    The promising prospect slashed just .160/.232/.240 across 45 games in his first taste of the big leagues last season, but Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports that Soderstrom is set to have multiple paths to playing time this coming season. Soderstrom will be part of a left-right platoon at catcher with Shea Langeliers, but he'll also see time at first base and designated hitter. Now that he seems to be back to full health, manager Mark Kotsay is optimistic about the improvement he believes the 2020 first-round pick is capable of. "From last year to this year, the body language is better," Kotsay said. "The intensity is better. I think the focus is better. Biggest positive coming out of a negative from last season in terms of the performance side is that he's recognizing things that may help him be successful this coming season."

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Clubs third homer

    Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Soderstrom had gone 0-for-7 over his first three games since he was called up Sept. 1. His third-inning homer sparked a four-run rally for the Athletics, but that was the extent of their offense in the loss. The catcher is up to three homers, six RBI, eight runs scored and a double while slashing just .158/.231/.263 over 104 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Recalled from Las Vegas

    Oakland recalled Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Soderstrom gives the Athletics a third option at catcher as they expand their roster from 26 to 28. The 24-year-old entered the 2023 campaign as a consensus top-100 prospect but has slashed just .165/.237/.247 through his first 27 major-league games.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sent back to Triple-A

    Soderstrom was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Soderstrom posted just a .484 OPS over 93 plate appearances in his first stint in the big leagues, so he will head back to Las Vegas for the time being and try to get back on track at the plate. If he can, chances are Soderstrom will get another look at the top level before the campaign comes to a close.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Pops homer as pinch hitter

    Soderstrom entered Wednesday's win over the Cardinals as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance.

    Soderstrom provided the final run of the afternoon for the Athletics with a massive 454-foot homer to center with one out in the ninth inning. The rookie's second career round-tripper also extended a stretch of modest success at the plate, as it marked his fourth time hitting safely in the last five games. Soderstrom still has plenty of catching up to do against big-league arms before becoming a reliable offensive contributor, however, as he's carrying a .171/.250/.263 slash line across his first 84 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Riding pine Wednesday

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

    Even after going 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-2 win, Soderstrom is still sitting on a .160 batting average through his first 83 plate appearances in the big leagues. Even though the 21-year-old has struggled with the jump from Triple-A Las Vegas to the majors, the Athletics don't yet seem ready to pull the plug on Soderstrom as a near-everyday player at either designated hitter, catcher or first base. He had started each of the last five games and 10 of the previous 11 contests.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting against lefty

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

    The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will ride the bench for the series finale while the Rangers bring southpaw Jordan Montgomery to the hill. With Soderstrom sitting out, Shea Langeliers will start at catcher and Jordan Diaz will serve as Oakland's designated hitter.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Belts first big-league homer

    Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Dodgers.

    Though his eighth-inning solo shot didn't have much of an impact on the final score, it was certainly a big moment for Soderstrom since it was the first homer of his major-league career. In fact, it was the first extra-base hit of any sort for the rookie, who came into the contest with just eight singles over 47 plate appearances. Soderstrom has seen his playing time fluctuate but appears to be getting into a groove at the plate, as he's batting .300 (6-for-20) over his past six games.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting Wednesday

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

    Soderstrom has a .467 OPS in his first 13 big-league contests and will head to the bench Wednesday after he started the previous three games. Shea Langeliers will work behind the plate while Brent Rooker serves as the designated hitter.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Multi-hit effort in win

    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

    Soderstrom got in on some of the fun during the Athletics' 13-hit outburst, authoring the second multi-hit effort of his young career. The rookie is carrying a lackluster .200 average and .500 OPS thus far even after factoring in Saturday's success, but he's now hit safely in three straight games.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sits against Valdez

    Soderstrom is not in Friday's lineup against the Astros.

    The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will head to the bench against tough lefty Framber Valdez. Jordan Diaz will fill in at first base while Jonah Bride handles designated hitter and Shea Langeliers starts behind the plate.
