Soderstrom has erupted over the past two weeks — walking twice as much as he's striking out, hitting six homers, and delivering a clutch go-ahead double Saturday. His xwOBA (.337) confirms the surge is real. Multi-position eligibility (1B/OF) makes him roster-friendly in almost any lineup.

Soderstrom was activated July 9 from his own IL stint and now wakes up two days later to find both Kurtz and Gelof in the training room. He is the Oakland starting first baseman for at least the next three weeks and has the bat — a former top overall prospect — to do damage in this role. The A's lineup is lean, but the playing time is guaranteed and catcher eligibility adds real value. Grab him now in 12+ team leagues and hold through the break.
