Neto went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Neto gave the Angels their only run of the game when he took Simeon Woods Richardson deep to left-center field in the third inning for a solo home run. Neto has recorded three hits in two of his last three games, and over that span he has gone 7-for-13 with two solo home runs.

Neto went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
It was the first multi-hit effort of the year by Neto, who also totaled a season-high seven bases Thursday. Despite hitting just .238 over his first 21 at-bats, the infielder is already up to two doubles and two homers with four RBI through six outings so far. Neto missed the first few weeks of the campaign while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be a strong source of power and speed at the shortstop position for fantasy managers going forward. Neto stole 30 bases over 155 games last year.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto (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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto (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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Neto (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.
