Neto went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels turned on the jets once Rene Pinto took over behind the plate for the Rays in the ninth inning, with Neto collecting both his steals in the late innings as part of a 5-for-6 performance on the basepaths by Los Angeles on the night. The shortstop has struggled out of the gate this season -- the 23-year-old hasn't had a multi-hit game since April 6, and through 16 contests he's slashing .179/.258/.232 with zero homers, three runs, six RBI and three steals in five attempts. Neto's 29.0 percent strikeout rate is also a significant step back from the 23.4 percent mark he posted as a rookie.

It's been a slow start for Neto, as he's slashing .241/.267/.310 with no homers and four RBI through 30 plate appearances. Saturday's theft was his first successful stolen base in three attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will have an opportunity to hit his way to a higher spot in the batting order over time, but for now he'll be stuck at the bottom. The 23-year-old shortstop slashed .225/.308/.377 with nine home runs and five stolen bases over 329 plate appearances during his rookie campaign in 2023.

After missing more than five weeks with a back injury, the 22-year-old shortstop has gone just 2-for-27 (.074) with eight strikeouts and four walks in seven contests.

EDGE Analysis
