ANALYSISSoderstrom will get his first day off of the season, in the midst of a rough patch at the dish. After slugging nine home runs in the Athletics' first 19 games, Soderstrom has gone without a long ball over the ensuing 15 contests and is slashing .228/.286/.281 with three doubles, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs during that stretch, a downturn that has coincided with a shift to the outfield to accommodate rookie
Nick Kurtz. Soderstrom will give up his spot in the lineup Sunday to
Miguel Andujar, who will start in left field and bat cleanup.
