Zach Neto To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (back) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. Neto has been on the injured list sine early August with a nagging back injury, but barring a setback this week while playing in a few minor-league games, the 22-year-old could return to the Angels lineup later this week or this weekend. Infield prospect Kyren Paris has been receiving some run at the 6 in Anaheim of late with Neto still out, but when Neto is back on the active roster, he should return to regular shortstop duties to close out the year. In his first major-league season, Neto has hit .241/.315/.411 with eight home runs, 14 doubles, 30 RBI, five stolen bases and 31 runs scored in 67 games (252 plate appearances).
