Tyler Soderstrom is back in the big leagues.
On Saturday, the 22-year-old first baseman was activated off the injured list by the Oakland Athletics and joined the team in Chicago amid their series with the White Sox. It came 68 days after he had to fly from Boston back to Oakland after suffering a stress reaction in his left wrist.
Soderstrom had been in the A's starting lineup from Saturday through Monday and was available off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
After going hitless in his first two games, the Turlock High graduate went 2-for-4 Monday with a pair of base hits.
Coming into Wednesday, the A's have nine games remaining in the regular season. They have a 66-86 record.

Cole Carrigg is a champion.
The speedy Colorado Rockies prospect was in the middle of a cider shower Saturday night after helping lead the High-A Spokane Indians to their first Northwest League Championship since 2008 after defeating the Vancouver Canadians of the Blue Jays organization three games to two in the best-of-five NWL Championship series.
The 65th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, Carrigg went 4-for-17 two runs scored an RBI throughout the series.
He finished his first full season as a professional slashing .299/.371/.517/.850 with 129 hits including 16 doubles, 14 triples, 17 home runs, 65 RBI and 53 stolen bags.
