Zach Neto Out On Monday
5 months agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting division-rival Texas Rangers. Veteran Luis Guillorme will take over at shortstop and will hit ninth in the batting order against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Neto isn't injury in any way, but this will be his first day off since May 24. He's not among the elite fantasy names at the premiere position, but he offers a decent alternative in deeper leagues at shortstop with his underrated power/speed combination. Neto has been in a slump at the plate of late, going 9-for-52 (.173) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI, five stolen bases and 12 strikeouts in 15 games since June 21. Guillorme is a low-upside DFS replacement on Monday. The 29-year-old has no home runs and only six RBI in his 98 at-bats in 2024 as a utility option for the struggling Halos.
