Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Homers in first rehab game

Soderstrom (wrist) went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Round Rock on Thursday, hitting a two-run home run.

Soderstrom was making his first rehab appearance and slugged the round tripper in his final plate appearance of the game in the sixth inning. It was the rookie's first taste of game action since July 9, and he'll need to see action on defense before his activation from the IL is considered.
