Jun 30 2025Neto (shoulder) went 0-for-2 and was caught trying to steal a base in Sunday's extra-innings loss to Washington. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and remained in the game at shortstop. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto hasn't started any of the Angels' past four games due to a jammed right shoulder. However, he entered as a pinch hitter during all three games of the weekend set against the Nationals, going 0-for-4 during that span. More promisingly, Neto remained in the contest to play shortstop Sunday after pinch hitting for Kevin Newman in the seventh frame and made one uneventful putout on defense. On Neto's attempted steal of second base in the ninth, he slid into the bag feet-first, something he's practiced this week after jamming his shoulder on a theft attempt Tuesday. All signs point toward Neto being back in the starting lineup shortly -- possibly for the Angels' next game, which takes place Tuesday in Atlanta.
Jun 29 2025Neto (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto will miss a fourth consecutive start after he jammed his right shoulder while attempting to steal a base Tuesday versus Boston. However, the 24-year-old appeared as a pinch hitter in both of Friday's and Saturday's contests, which indicates that he isn't dealing with a serious injury. Kevin Newman will make another start at shortstop for the Halos on Sunday.
Jun 28 2025Neto (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup against the Nationals on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto is beginning on the bench for a third straight game after jamming his shoulder while attempting to steal a base Tuesday. The 24-year-old did appear as a pinch hitter Friday, striking out in the seventh inning of a loss, but he didn't play the field following that at-bat. Neto may be available off the bench again Saturday, though he'll likely need to be able to throw without pain before returning to work on defense. Fletcher notes that Neto did throw a bit Saturday and is hoping to return to the lineup Tuesday.
Jun 27 2025Neto (shoulder) is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Nationals on Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto jammed his right shoulder during a stolen-game base attempt in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. The good news for the 24-year-old is that MRI results came back negative, but he will be held out of the lineup for Friday's series opener. Kevin Newman will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth.
Jun 25 2025MRI results on Neto's right shoulder came back negative Wednesday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto was pulled from Tuesday's contest early after jamming his right shoulder during a stolen-base attempt in the eighth inning. However, he didn't suffer any structural damage and is currently being viewed as day-to-day. Scott Kingery filled in as Philadelphia's shortstop during Wednesday's game against the Red Sox and and may be in line for a few more starts until Neto is ready to return.
Jun 24 2025Neto jammed his right shoulder during Tuesday's win over Boston, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto suffered the injury while attempting to steal second base during the eighth inning. He then made a wild throw to first base during the ninth frame, so the Angels pulled him as a precaution. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though the team may have more information ahead of Wednesday's series finale.
Jun 23 2025Neto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 9-5 win against the Red Sox on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto opened the Angels' half of the first inning a solo blast to center field, and he notched a second RBI in the same frame when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The long ball was his second in as many games, as he belted a solo blast in his lone plate appearance as a pinch hitter Sunday. Neto is up to a .278/.322/.498 slash line on the campaign, and with 12 homers and 13 steals, he's one of seven big-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.
Jun 22 2025Neto is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for Neto, who struggled to a .245/.287/.373 slash line with just two homers and four steals during that stretch. Kevin Newman will make his return from a minor ankle injury and start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale.
Jun 9 2025Neto went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto is taking advantage of his hot bat this month to make some noise on the basepaths. He has three steals on four attempts over his last four games, and he's batting .286 (10-for-35) over eight contests in June. The shortstop is up to 11 thefts on 14 attempts this season, though his running shouldn't come as a surprise after he swiped 30 bags last year. Neto has added a .272/.307/.497 slash line, 10 home runs, 26 RBI and 37 runs scored over 202 plate appearances.
Jun 7 2025Neto went 2-for-5 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto has swiped a bag in each of the last two contests, giving him 10 steals on the year. The shortstop is also hitting steadily, recording at least one knock in 18 of his last 21 games, though he has a modest six multi-hit efforts in that span. He's up to a .273/.309/.508 slash line with 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 35 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple through 45 contests while filling the leadoff role for the Angels.
Jun 6 2025Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto got on base on an error in the first inning but was caught stealing. He then delivered an RBI single in the third and swiped second, logging his first successful steal since May 21 versus the Athletics. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 10-for-44 (.227) in that span. He's providing well-rounded production overall, batting .270 with an .818 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals on 12 attempts, 24 RBI and 34 runs scored over 44 contests.
Jun 2 2025Neto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto started the game with a bang for the Angels, hitting one of what would be three home runs by his squad in the first inning alone. The 24-year-old is slashing .268/.309/.512 following Monday's performance, a pace that would set a career high in both batting average and OPS. If there's one area of improvement, it would be trying to cut down on the strikeouts as the third-year pro has struck out 11 times in his last eight games.
May 26 2025Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto lifted a moonshot in the first inning, taking Ryan Yarbrough deep on a 440-foot homer to center field. That was not a sign of coming attractions, as the Angels' offense struggled for the remainder of the game. Neto has homers five times and added 12 RBI over his last 14 contests, going 17-for-56 (.304) in that span. The shortstop is batting .283 with an .875 OPS, nine homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 10 doubles over 35 games this season.
May 25 2025Neto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old missed the start of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he started 33 straight games after making his season debut April 18 before getting a rest Sunday. Neto has been one of the most productive shortstops in baseball with eight homers, eight steals, 19 RBI and 28 runs in 143 plate appearances. Tim Anderson will step in at shortstop and bat leadoff versus Miami.
May 22 2025Neto went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a stolen base against the Athletics in a 10-5 win Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto's power and speed were both on display in the win -- he popped a two-run homer in the third inning, then reached on an infield single, stole a base and came around to score in the ninth. The talented young shortstop missed the first few weeks of the season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but that issue seems well behind him. Neto has posted an .889 OPS through 30 games, collecting eight homers, eight steals, 18 RBI and 25 runs scored.
May 18 2025Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto started the scoring Sunday, launching a home run on the third pitch of the game. It was the shortstop's seventh long ball on the season and his third in his last six appearances. During that stretch, Neto is 8-for-24 (.333) with seven RBI and seven runs scored.
May 12 2025Neto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto opened the scoring with a third-inning blast, but the Angels' lead was short-lived. This was a positive performance in the series opener for the shortstop, who went just 1-for-12 with a walk and three strikeouts over the three-game series versus the Orioles this past weekend. For the season, Neto is batting .279 with an .845 OPS, five homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven stolen bases and five doubles over 22 contests.
May 6 2025Neto went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto remains sizzling at the plate -- he's hit safely in his last 11 games. In that span, he's 16-for-45 (.356) with seven steals and seven extra-base hits. The shortstop missed three weeks at the start of the season while finishing up his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. It hasn't taken him long to settle in -- he's batting .290 with four home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, seven steals and five doubles across 65 plate appearances.
May 3 2025Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He led off the bottom of the first inning by driving the first pitch he saw from Tarik Skubal into the rocks in straightaway center field at Angel Stadium, but it was all the offense the Halos could muster on the night. Neto has hit safely in eight straight games as he quickly makes up for his belated start to the season, batting .364 (12-for-33) during that streak with three doubles, three homers, four steals, four RBI and five runs.
May 2 2025Neto went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in a loss to Detroit on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto extended his hitting streak to seven games with a third-inning single, and he subsequently stole second base before being driven in by a Jorge Soler homer. Neto got a late start to the campaign due to a shoulder injury and initially batted seventh in the order, but he soon moved up to the No. 2 slot and has now batted leadoff for the Halos in three straight games. He's hit well in his 12 contests so far this season, slashing .283/.313/.565 with three home runs, six RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases.
Apr 20 2025Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto got the Angels on the board in the fifth with a solo blast off Justin Verlander. He was then right in the thick of the team's four-run, ninth-inning comeback with an RBI before scoring the winning run. Both of Neto's hits have gone for extra bases through his first three starts of the year, adding more power to a lineup that's fourth in baseball with 33 home runs.
Apr 19 2025Neto went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Activated off the injured list earlier in the day, Neto wasted no time in making an impact, driving home Nolan Schanuel with a two-bagger in the second inning and then racing home on a Matt Chapman fielding error. Neto hit seventh in his 2025 debut, but he's likely to move into a more prominent spot in the order once he's fully up to speed -- although Friday's performance suggests he's already there. After a breakout 2024 in which the 24-year-old shortstop slugged 23 homers and stole 30 bags in 155 games, big things are expected from Neto now that he's recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.
Apr 18 2025The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto has spent the first few weeks of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November. The 24-year-old has been playing rehab games at Triple-A Salt Lake since the start of April, however, and has slashed .286/.397/.592 with four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs scored while logging a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. Now fully healthy, he figures to slide back in as the Angels' everyday shortstop. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
Apr 16 2025Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto played a full game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and hit his fourth home run in what was his 12th rehab contest. He's slated for another nine full innings with Salt Lake on Wednesday. The Angels finish up a road trip in Texas on Thursday, so it seems likelier that they'll wait until their homestand -- which begins Friday -- before activating Neto. Sunday is the final day of Neto's 20-day rehab window, so the latest he'll be activated is likely Tuesday versus the Pirates.
Apr 9 2025Neto (shoulder) has gone 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, two walks, six runs and four RBI over his past two minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Salt Lake. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto is rehabbing from right shoulder surgery, and he seems just about ready to make his season debut with the Angels. The third-year shortstop has slashed .320/.452/.760 with three long balls, two doubles, 10 runs, six RBI and a stolen base overall across 31 plate appearances during his rehab assignment. Just as importantly, Neto has been able to play shortstop in each of his past two games and in three of his past four contests after being limited to a designated-hitter role in his first three appearances with Salt Lake.
Apr 4 2025Neto (shoulder) will start at shortstop Friday as he continues his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake, Bees play-by-play announcer Tony Parks reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old began the rehab assignment Tuesday and was limited to serving as the designated hitter in his first few games, but he's now been cleared to play the field. Neto could be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Angels sometime next week after he gets in a few games defensively.
Apr 3 2025Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto began a rehab stint April 1 and has collected exactly one hit in each of his three games so far. He's gone a collective 3-for-13, and two of his hits (a double and Thursday's homer) have gone for extra bases. Neto hasn't yet played the field, however, as he's started all three of his games at DH. He'll likely need to get in some work on defense before he's ready to join the major-league club.
Apr 1 2025Neto (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not yet clear whether he will immediately play shortstop or be eased into action at designated hitter. Neto is working his way back from right shoulder surgery and could be ready to rejoin the Angels soon, although there's no known target date yet. Kevin Newman has been filling in as the Angels' primary shortstop.
Mar 27 2025The Angels placed Neto (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old continues to rehab from offseason shoulder surgery and is now officially on the injured list, as expected. According to MLB.com, manager Ron Washington said Tuesday that Neto isn't ready to play in games and has "no date" for his return, so it's unclear when he may be able to make his 2025 debut. Kevin Newman, Tim Anderson, Nicky Lopez and Kyren Paris are all candidates to see time at shortstop with Neto sidelined for at least the first couple weeks of the season.
Mar 21 2025Neto (shoulder) has been throwing across the diamond in addition to participating in other defensive drills, Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto began throwing from shortstop to first base this week after being limited to shorter throws during the first half of March. The 24-year-old is also doing "just about every defensive drill that the rest of the team is doing" aside from throwing and was recently cleared to take swings off a hitting machine. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to face live pitching, and Neto remains likely to begin the season on the injured list, but he continues to be described as "ahead of schedule" in his rehab from the right shoulder surgery he underwent last November. Neto made it clear that he's pleased with his progress to this point, saying, "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. I'm trusting our training staff and our coaches to get me in the right spot. I'm feeling great every day I walk in here."
Mar 8 2025Neto (shoulder) fielded groundballs and make throws to second base Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Per Fletcher, it was the first time Neto has thrown to a bag this spring, though he began a throwing progression in mid-February. The 24-year-old shortstop is progressing in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to begin the campaign on the injured list. Manager Ron Washington stated last week that Neto should be able to make his season debut sometime in April.
Feb 27 2025Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day but should make his season debut "soon after" in April, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The expectation has been that Neto would need a stint on the injured list to start the season, so Washington relaying that the shortstop is tracking toward a return in April is relatively good news. Neto underwent right shoulder surgery in November and began a throwing progression early last week. It's not clear when Neto might be cleared to play in games, but Washington's timeline suggests the 24-year-old could see some Cactus League action before the schedule runs out. Luis Rengifo, Tim Anderson, Kevin Newman and Scott Kingery are among those competing to fill in at shortstop for the Angels until Neto is ready to go.
Feb 17 2025Angels manager Ron Washington said that Neto (shoulder) began his throwing progression Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Washington added that Neto is not yet throwing with full effort, but the process of the shortstop ramping things up following last November's right shoulder surgery has begun. The expectation is that Neto will likely need a stint on the injured list to begin the season, but a clearer picture on his timetable should be available in the coming weeks.
Feb 14 2025Angels manager Ron Washington said Friday that he expects Neto (shoulder) to bat fifth or sixth this season, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto batted second for the Angels for most of the final two months of last season, but with Mike Trout (knee) expected back and Jorge Soler added to the mix, Neto will slide down a bit in the batting order. A stint on the injured list at the beginning of the season for Neto is likely as he continues his recovery from right shoulder surgery.
Feb 12 2025Neto said he received "good news" on his surgically repaired right shoulder Tuesday and is ahead of schedule in his recovery, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Details of Neto's shoulder operation remain scarce, and the shortstop did not further elaborate on the "good news" he received, nor did he know whether he would be ready for Opening Day. Neto has been hitting off a tee but has not yet been cleared to throw. The prevailing expectation is that the 24-year-old will begin the season on the injured list, but further clarity on his situation should arise as spring training rolls along.
Feb 11 2025Neto (shoulder) is not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto underwent right shoulder surgery in early November, but the Angels haven't revealed the type of procedure he had or how long he might be sidelined. While a stint on the 10-day injured list to begin the season is expected, Bollinger writes that the team is "optimistic" the young shortstop won't miss much time. There should be further clarity on Neto's situation this week once position players arrive in Angels camp. Tim Anderson, Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery, Luis Rengifo and Kyren Paris are the candidates to fill in at shortstop until Neto is ready.
Nov 8 2024Angels general manager Perry Minasian revealed Friday that Neto had right shoulder surgery Wednesday and could miss the start of next season, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Minasian didn't divulge specifics regarding the nature of the injury or the procedure. Neto hurt his shoulder on a slide on Sept. 26 and missed the final three games of the regular season. He initially tried to rest and rehab the shoulder but was still feeling discomfort, necessitating the operation. There should be more information later in the offseason regarding Neto's timeline. Luis Rengifo (wrist) or the newly-acquired Scott Kingery could get reps at shortstop if Neto needs to miss time.
Sep 29 2024Neto (shoulder) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Ron Washington said Friday that Neto could be back Saturday and Sunday, but the shortstop will end up missing the final series. Neto broke out this year with a 23-homer/30-steal season in 155 games while slashing .249/.318/.443.
Sep 28 2024Neto (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto will miss a second consecutive game due to a right shoulder injury he sustained Thursday against the White Sox. It's unclear whether Neto will also be held out of the Angels' regular-season finale Sunday. Jack Lopez will start at shortstop Saturday and bat second.
Sep 26 2024Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not play Friday versus the Rangers but could be back in action Saturday and Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto had to exit Thursday's game against the White Sox with right shoulder irritation after landing hard on a stolen-base attempt. However, while he will miss one start, it sounds like the injury will not be a season-ender.
Sep 22 2024Neto went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and six RBI in Sunday's win over Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto put the Angels on the board with his two-run shot in the sixth inning. He then delivered two more clutch hits, a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth and a go-ahead three-run double in the ninth. He snapped a 10-game homerless drought, which was also a 3-for-39 (.077) slump. Neto is now slashing .248/.317/.444 with 23 home runs, 57 extra-base hits and 30 steals through 152 games.
Sep 19 2024Neto went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto didn't start the contest but entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and drew a walk. He proceeded to steal second base, then scored the game-tying run on a Taylor Ward single. The theft was Neto's 30th of the campaign, making him one of seven major-leaguers so far this season to log 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases.
Sep 18 2024Neto is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In the midst of a 1-for-24 drought at the dish, Neto is receiving a rare day off. Jack Lopez will cover shortstop and bat second for the Angels while Neto gets some rest.
Sep 10 2024Neto went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a double in Tuesday's 10-5 loss at Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels shortstop collected the game's first hit when he laced his 31st double of the season in the first inning. Neto later launched a 428-foot, three-run blast off starter Pablo Lopez to pull Los Angeles within two runs. The 23-year-old has rounded into a fantasy star in the second half, hitting .272 (46-for-169) with nine homers, nine doubles, 15 steals, 29 runs scored and 28 RBI across 48 games. Overall, Neto is now slashing .258/.328/.455 with 21 homers, 29 steals, 66 runs scored and 70 RBI in 543 plate appearances.
Sep 7 2024Neto went 0-for-2 with a walk, two runs and two stolen bases in a loss to Texas on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto didn't log any hits, but he still made an impact on the stat sheet. The shortstop was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored in the first inning and added a walk, another steal and another run in the sixth. Neto is up to 29 stolen bases on the campaign -- with one more he can become the sixth MLB player with at least 20 home runs and 30 thefts so far this season.
Sep 3 2024Neto went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-2 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto has four steals over his last eight games despite going a paltry 5-for-27 (.185) in that span. Tuesday's effort was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 20. The shortstop is at a .252/.319/.446 slash line with 20 home runs, 26 steals, 66 RBI and 60 runs scored over 134 contests this season.
Aug 30 2024Neto went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto manufactured the Angels' second run after getting plunked in the first inning. He stole second and third before scoring on a Nolan Schanuel sacrifice fly. While consistency has abandoned Neto's bat in August, he's hitting .240 (24-for-100) with seven home runs, 19 RBI and six steals over 26 contests this month. Overall, the second-year shortstop has a well-rounded .252/.317/.450 slash line with 20 home runs, 25 steals, 66 RBI, 59 runs scored and 28 doubles across 131 games.
Aug 29 2024Neto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto took Keider Montero deep in the fifth inning for this 20th homer this season. Neto became the ninth player this season to eclipse 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. The 23-year-old joined Jim Fregosi, who hit 22 homers in 1970, as the only Angels shortstops with 20 home runs in a season in franchise history. Neto has been one of the better surprises of the season at shortstop with a .254/.318/.453 slash line in 130 games.
Aug 25 2024Neto went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto provided the Angels' first run with an RBI single, which was one of three hits for the team in this game. After a hot start to August, Neto has slowed down, going 6-for-39 (.154) over his last 10 games, though he has three extra-base hits in that span. The shortstop is now at a .256/.322/.451 slash line with 19 home runs, 23 steals, 64 RBI and 57 runs scored through 127 contests this season.
Aug 20 2024Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Neto's impressive August continued with his sixth homer in 17 contests this month. He's also batting .299 (20-for-67) with 16 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. The shortstop is up to a .262/.327/.466 slash line with 19 homers, 63 RBI, 57 runs scored, 22 stolen bases and 27 doubles across 122 games this season. While the Angels' lineup isn't anything special, Neto should continue to provide well-rounded production out of the No. 2 spot in the order as he has since Luis Rengifo (wrist) exited the lineup Aug. 3.
Aug 14 2024Neto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old's trip to the bench will end a run of 30 straight starts, during which he slashed .343/.442/.608 with seven doubles, six homers, eight steals, 22 RBI and 21 runs. Luis Guillorme will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday while Neto sits.
Aug 13 2024Neto went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Over the last seven games, Neto has produced three hits four times and gone hitless in the other three contests in that span.
