Neto (oblique) is scheduled to take live batting practice Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neto was shut down for a couple of weeks after he landed on the inured list June 15 due to a left oblique strain, but he has responded well to a recent uptick in baseball activities and could return to the Angels' active roster immediately after the All-Star break.

Neto (oblique) played catch and is expected to hit off a tee Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neto is continuing to ramp up his baseball activities, and Bollinger adds that the shortstop could be activated soon after the break if all goes according to plan. He's been on the 10-day injured list since June 15 due to a left oblique strain and will likely head out on a rehab assignment shortly.

EDGE Analysis

Neto has been sidelined since June 15, and his activity Saturday is his most strenuous since he was sidelined. There is still no timetable for his return, making it very likely that his activation from the injured list will come after the All-Star break.

Neto (oblique) did not resume baseball activities Friday as previously expected, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neto indicated early in the week that he is no longer experiencing pain or discomfort and said that he was planning to resume baseball activities Friday. However, that plan did not come to pass, and the Angels now hope that the rookie shortstop can instead get back to such activities Sunday or Monday. Manager Phil Nevin suggested that Neto's ramp-up should not take long, so there's still a chance he can return to action by the end of next week.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will be limited to light throwing at first before he then begins to incorporate a range of other drills. The young shortstop has been brought along slowly in his recovery from a left oblique strain, which sent him to the injured list June 15. There is no exact timetable yet for his return to the Angels' active major-league roster.

The Angels placed Neto on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Neto felt something in his side after making a warmup throw in the first inning of Wednesday's game and had to be removed. The 22-year-old shortstop will now be shelved for at least 10 days, and Andrew Velazquez will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to take Neto's place on the roster.

EDGE Analysis

The team described Neto's injury as a precaution, so it's likely he'll be able to return to the Angels' lineup without missing much time, if any. The 22-year-old shortstop is enjoying a nice four-game hit streak while slashing .467/.467/1.200 in that span.

Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against Texas for undisclosed reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jared Walsh entered the game to pinch-hit for Neto in the second inning, and the Angels have yet to announce a reason for Neto's removal. The team should provide an update relatively soon, and Neto should be considered day-to-day until more is known.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Neto's 396-foot blast came in the ninth inning, giving him his second home run in three days and sixth on the season. The rookie has held his own so far, striking out at just a 21 percent clip while posting a respectable .259 average working as the near everyday shortstop for the Angels.
