Athletics outfielder Tyler Soderstrom to miss remainder of season, have hip surgery

Kansas City, Mo. (AP) — Athletics outfielder Tyler Soderstrom is set to undergo hip surgery, effectively ending his current season. After being placed on the injured list due to a left hip impingement, Soderstrom will undergo the procedure on Friday. This marks his second time on the 10-day injured list this summer, as he struggled since returning from an earlier incident on July 8.

The 24-year-old, who batted .245 with 19 home runs and 56 RBIs in 109 games this season, had reached an 11-game hitting streak prior to his latest setback. Last season, Soderstrom hit a career-high 25 home runs, drove in 93 RBIs and posted a .276 batting average over 158 games.
