Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left calf tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Neto slid to field a ball at shortstop and fell back to the ground in pain after attempting to get up and throw the ball. Encouragingly, Neto was able to walk off the field unassisted and it's expected he'll be evaluated during Sunday's team day off. Luis Guillorme will slide to shortstop while Michael Stefanic enters at second base.

Neto said Friday that MRI results on his right elbow only showed inflammation, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerreports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto had to exit Wednesday's game against Houston after injuring his elbow on a throw to first base, though it appears he managed to avoid suffering any significant damage. He will attempt to test his elbow by throwing before Friday's game versus Cleveland, though he has already been left off the Halos' starting lineup. Kyren Paris will get the nod at shortstop instead while batting ninth.

Neto will undergo further testing on his right elbow in Los Angeles after exiting in the bottom of the fifth inning of Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before he was lifted in the bottom of the fifth inning shortly after he made a high throw from shortstop. The Angels labeled his injury as right elbow soreness, but more clarity on the severity of the injury should be known once his tests are completed. For what it's worth, Neto said the Angels' training staff told him that his injury doesn't appear to be serious.

Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros in the bottom of the fifth inning due to right elbow soreness. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting the game.
EDGE Analysis
Neto uncorked a high throw to first base in the fifth inning which Nolan Schanuel had to leap up to grab. As it turns out, Neto must have tweaked his elbow on the throw. The Angels should have more information on the young shortstop after the game, but he could be at risk of landing on the 10-day injured list.
