Tyler Soderstrom

While this is just a routine day off, Soderstrom has cooled a bit since his torrid start to the season. Since May 1st, Soderstrom is hitting .240/.335/.366 with five home runs and four steals in 50 games. While the batting average isn't much worse than what you were expecting when you drafted him, the .366 slugging percentage over his last 50 games leaves a lot to be desired. Max Schuemann will start in left field bat eighth in his place.

Butler and Soderstrom will take a seat against Astros lefty ace Framber Valdez with Max Schuemann taking over in left field and bumping up to the leadoff spot.
