Zach Neto Leaves Early With Side Cramping
2 years agoLos Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (side) left the game early on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers with cramping in his left side. Neto didn't have an official at-bat before leaving as a precautionary measure, and he was replaced at shortstop by Luis Rengifo, who shifted over from the keystone. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 22-year-old rookie as day-to-day, and he could return for the series finale against the Rangers on Thursday. Neto is on a modest four-game hitting streak and has been very serviceable for the Halos at the 6 in his first 54 major-league games, hitting .259 (45-for-174) with 12 doubles, six home runs, 22 RBI, five stolen bases and 24 runs scored in 54 games and 199 plate appearances.

Zach Neto Homers In Rehab Game
12 hours agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (shoulder) homered in a rehab game for Triple-A Salt Lake City on Thursday. Neto opened the season on the injured list after having surgery on his right shoulder last November. He began his rehab assignment on Tuesday and will serve as the team's DH for now as the team has no timetable on when he will be able to play defense. Neto hit 23 homers in 2024 while hitting .249 as he nears a return to the big leagues.

Zach Neto Starting Rehab Assignment On Tuesday
3 days agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday evening. The 24-year-old is working his way back from offseason surgery. Shortly before Opening Day, Angels manager Ron Washington noted that there is not a "defined" date for his return. However, given that Neto will begin rehab assignment this evening, suggest that his return may be sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his production with Triple-A Salt Lake, as he could return as early as next week. Last season, the former first-round pick enjoyed a solid campaign, hitting 23 home runs and swiping 30 bags. He held a .249/.318/.443 slash line. When healthy, Neto should be viewed as a solid low-end No. 1 shortstop in category formats given his ability to hit for power and carry stolen base upside.

Zach Neto Has No Date For Return
1 week agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto underwent right shoulder surgery and will start the season on IL, and manager Ron Washington said there is "no date" for his return since he is still not ready for game action. Since Neto did not play in spring training, he will likely need a minor-league rehab stint before making his season debut. Last year, the 24-year-old hit .249 with 23 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 155 games with the Angels. He'll look to build on that momentum in his second full season in the majors once he recovers from his shoulder surgery. Until he's ready, Kevin Newman is expected to fill in the position for Los Angeles.

Zach Neto Ahead Of Schedule In Recovery From Shoulder Surgery
2 weeks agoThe Sporting Tribune's Jack Janes writes that Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (shoulder) has been able to do just about every defensive drill in camp that the rest of the team is doing outside of throwing. His throwing program didn't allow him to throw across the diamond until he reached 120 feet, which he accomplished this past week. The 24-year-old finally started throwing to first base last Sunday and said his arm is feeling good. Neto has also been swinging the bat in batting practice and in the cages as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery that will cause him to start the 2025 season on the injured list. "Honestly, I feel really great with my shoulder and where it's at. I'm feeling way stronger since when I first walked in here," Neto said. Kevin Newman is expected to start the year as the team's starting shortstop, but it might not be long before Neto makes his 2025 debut.
