Soderstrom Out, Rodríguez In | Oakland Athletics News

The Athletics take another hit as Tyler Soderstrom heads to season-ending hip surgery, opening the door for Johnathan Rodríguez off waivers from Pittsburgh. Soderstrom, who battled through pain and finished with 19 homers and 56 RBIs in 109 games—including an 11-game hitting streak—now joins a growing list of injured young stars like Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers. At 26, Rodríguez brings depth after bouncing around teams this year, currently in Triple-A Las Vegas. With both Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson sidelined, the focus shifts to rehabbing key players for next season—a long road ahead for the team and its core.
