Tyler Soderstrom Fantasy Stats

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (head, shoulder) is back in left field and will hit sixth in the batting order for Friday's series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Joey Cantillo, according to MLB.com. Even with a left-hander on the mound, Soderstrom will return to the A's starting nine after sitting out the last two games because he was banged up from a diving catch in the outfield on Tuesday. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger won't be the most popular DFS play on Friday night, even with the A's at home at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park. Soderstrom has hit just .211 (23-for-109) on the season with three home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a steal. He's really struggled against lefties, too, going 3-for-34 (.088) against them with none of his three home runs, two walks, and 11 strikeouts in 36 plate appearances. Soderstrom will be facing Cantillo for the first time in his career.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (head, shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Kansas City Royals at Sutter Health Park, according to MLB.com. Carlos Cortes will make another start in left field for the A's and will hit sixth against Royals left-hander Noah Cameron. Soderstrom is still a little banged up from making a diving catch in left field on Tuesday and will sit out for the second straight game. His injury isn't serious at all, though, so fantasy managers should expect the left-handed-hitting slugger to return to action on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. The 28-year-old Cortes has been on fire in the early going of the 2026 season for the A's, batting .400 (26-for-65) with four home runs, 13 RBI, and eight runs scored in his first 24 games. He comes into Thursday's game riding a nine-game hitting streak, going 17-for-30 (.567) with three homers, three doubles, a triple, seven RBI, and four runs scored during that span.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (head, shoulder) is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals at Sutter Health Park, per MLB.com. Carlos Cortes is making the start in left field and will bat third for the A's against Royals veteran right-hander Michael Wacha. Soderstrom injured his head and shoulder while diving for a ball in left field in Tuesday's game versus KC and was removed early. The good news is that Soderstrom hasn't shown any concussion symptoms, so it sounds like he's just a little sore and banged up. The A's aren't going to take any chances with their young left-handed slugger. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if Soderstrom is back in action for the series finale on Thursday against the Royals. Cortes has been money for the A's in just his second season, hitting .387 (24-for-62) with four home runs, 13 RBI, and eight runs scored in 23 games.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (head) left the game early on Tuesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals as a precaution, manager Mark Kotsay told Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Soderstrom didn't have any signs of a concussion, but there is some soreness, and the team will wait to see how he feels on Wednesday. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter got his bell rung while trying to make a diving catch in left field. In the eventual 4-1 win in Sacramento, Soderstrom went 0-for-2 at the plate with two strikeouts before being replaced in left field by Carlos Cortes. We'll consider him day-to-day for now. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday to see if Soderstrom is active for Game 3 of the four-game series. The former first-rounder (26th overall) in 2020 is hitting just .211 (23-for-109) in the first month of 2026, but fantasy managers need to stick with him after he broke out with 25 long balls, 93 RBI, and eight steals in 158 games in 2025. Soderstrom has gone deep three times with 18 RBI in his first 29 games this year.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom led the A's offensive charge in Saturday's 11-6 win over the New York Mets at Citi Field. Soderstrom was seeing the ball well at the plate, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI on the day. His first home run was a two-run shot off right-handed starter Kodai Senga in the third inning, and his second long ball on the day was a three-run homer against right-handed reliever Luke Weaver in the eighth inning. The homers were Soderstrom's first two of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger came into Saturday's contest in Queens with a .200 average (10-for-50) with eight RBI, five runs scored, and a stolen base in his first 13 games played, so fantasy managers were surely happy to see him break out of his early-season funk. Plenty of power should be coming for Soderstrom, who broke out in 2025 with 25 homers and 93 RBI in 624 plate appearances in his first full major-league season.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (knee) is starting in left field and will bat cleanup for the A's in Friday's Cactus League game against the Chicago Cubs. Soderstrom was hit by a pitch on the knee on Thursday in a spring training game, but he'll be right back in the lineup on Friday and should be just fine for Opening Day next week. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger is one of the A's interesting young hitters in a hitter-friendly ballpark in Sacramento. The former 26th overall pick in 2020 broke out in 2025 with a .276/.346/.474 slash line, .820 OPS, 25 home runs, 93 RBI, 75 runs scored, and even eight stolen bases in 624 plate appearances and 158 games played in his third season in the major leagues. Adding to his fantasy intrigue is the fact that he'll have first base and outfield eligibility in 2026. Soderstrom is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 23 fantasy outfielder and as the No. 11 fantasy first baseman. His power from the left side plays in all formats as a regular middle-of-the-order hitter for the A's.

Athletics outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (knee) was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's Spring Training contest against the Seattle Mariners. Soderstrom was pulled out of the game as a precaution after getting hit by a pitch in the knee. According to Martin Gallegos, Soderstrom is going to be fine going forward, so fantasy managers don't have anything to worry about. It's possible that the A's hold him out for a few days, but this shouldn't be a long-term issue. The 24-year-old looks to continue his success in 2026 after posting a strong season at the plate in 2025. Soderstrom slashed .276/.346/.474 with 25 home runs and 93 RBI across 145 games. He's currently sitting around 83.7 ADP, which seems fair given his success last year and his overall upside.

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's Cactus League win over the Texas Rangers, and he's gone 3-for-7 with two RBI, two runs, a walk, and a strikeout in his three spring games. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger is part of the A's exciting mix of young players. He signed a seven-year, $86 million contract extension in December after slashing .276/.346/.474 with a career-high .820 OPS, 25 home runs, 93 RBI, 75 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in 624 plate appearances over 158 games played in his first full season in the big leagues in 2025. With Nick Kurtz locked in at first base, Soderstrom will be the A's regular in left field going into the 2026 campaign. His batted-ball metrics indicate his breakout was for real, especially as he made more contact.

Outfielder/first baseman Tyler Soderstrom and the Athletics have agreed to a seven-year, $86 million contract extension, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal includes a club option for 2033 and can escalate to $131 million if all incentives are reached. This is the largest guaranteed deal in A's history. The 2025 season marked Soderstrom's first full year in the majors and his first extended run in the outfield, and he impressed on both sides of the ball. He slashed .276/.346/.474 with 25 home runs, 93 RBI, and 75 runs scored across 624 plate appearances, good for a 125 wRC+, while also finishing as a Gold Glove finalist. While the 24-year-old ran at a relatively high.327 BABIP, his 49.8% hard-hit rate suggests the production was driven more by skill than luck. The former first-round pick consistently barreled the ball while keeping his strikeout rate to a manageable 22.6%. Looking ahead to 2026, Soderstrom is expected to hit in the middle of the A's lineup in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in baseball. With a current 95.6 ADP, he offers legitimate 30-homer, 100-RBI upside while providing positional flexibility, making him a solid target for fantasy managers in all leagues.

Athletics outfielder/first baseman Tyler Soderstrom (groin) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in Wednesday's contest on the road at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Lucas Giolito. Soderstrom will return to action in Beantown after missing the last five games with groin tightness. Fantasy managers will want to get the 23-year-old left-handed slugger back in their lineups against a right-handed pitcher. He's in the midst of a breakout 2025 campaign in his first full season in the big leagues and comes into Wednesday's game hitting .278 (146-for-525) with career-highs across the board in home runs (24), RBI (89), runs scored (71), and stolen bases (eight) in 147 games. Soderstrom has been red-hot in September, too, going 13-for-32 (.406) with a homer, four doubles, and 11 RBI in 10 games. Start him against Giolito.
