BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Angels have been spiraling since Mike Trout (hand) landed on the IL, but one of the few bright spots has been the play of rookie Zach Neto (back), who carried a six-game hit streak into Saturday's action. Neto was a late scratch on Saturday and isn't expected to return to the Angels' lineup until Tuesday due to lower back tightness. The 22-year-old is not simply getting on base, though; he's been leading off for the Angels and scoring five runs in those six games; batting in front of Shohei Ohtani seems good for fantasy production. Who knew?
Leadoff hitters have thump too 💪

Since the start of June, Neto is batting .288 with a .542 slugging percentage and is locked in as the team's starting shortstop. He makes hard contact over 40 percent of the time, and his 20-percent K-rate is not just good for a rookie, it's significantly better than the league average. If your team needs help in runs scored, Neto is a great option, and he's widely available.
