Neto was pulled from Wednesday's game against St. Louis after suffering an apparent injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neto appeared to take a pitch to his right hand on a bunt attempt during the fifth inning. He remained in the game to finish his at-bat, but was pulled before the bottom of the frame. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Neto went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Neto singled home a run in the sixth to pad the Angels' lead to 5-1. The 22-year-old is beginning to settle in as the leadoff man for the Halos after starting his third consecutive game in the No. 1 spot. He has multiple hits in three of his last four games and is now slashing .263/.354/.333 with five RBI, four runs and a 1:10 BB:K over 65 plate appearances.

Neto went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a 3-0 win against the Brewers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Neto started at shortstop and batted out of the leadoff spot for the second straight game. He failed to get a hit after going 4-for-7 over his previous two contests, but he was able to reach on a walk and swipe a bag in the first inning. Neto has shown good acumen on the basepaths in the minors, swiping eight bags on 10 attempts over 44 contests since joining the organization out of college.

Neto is leading off Saturday against Corbin Burnes and the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor Ward, who has led off almost all season, is dropped down to seventh against the tough righty, while Neto ascends to the top of the lineup. The rookie shortstop has hit first in a couple games but has usually hit eighth or ninth. Neto is hitting .244/.333/.333 with zero home runs, zero steals, zero walks and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 14 games.

Neto is not in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first day off the rookie has received since his promotion. Neto hasn't gained much traction at the plate yet, although he does have six hits in his last 19 at-bats. Gio Urshela will handle shortstop Thursday.

Neto went 2-for-3 with two doubles in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees in 10 innings. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning.

EDGE Analysis

The pair of doubles were the first extra-base knocks of Neto's career, as the rookie shortstop had gone 1-for-16 with a base hit through his first four games. Neto's slow start at the dish has resulted in him quickly being dropped from the leadoff spot and moved to the bottom of the order, but the 22-year-old still remains a promising fantasy commodity. Though he doesn't project to hit for much power or offer much of an impact as a base stealer, Neto boasts an advanced hit tool and should see his .158 batting average climb dramatically from here on out.

Neto is leading off and playing shortstop against the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will hit at the top of the lineup in just his second career MLB game after being called up by the Angels on Saturday. The 22-year-old went hitless in his debut, but the 2022 first-round pick tore up Double-A pitching and has a skill set that suggests the potential for immediate fantasy contributions even if there are ups and downs in the early part of his career.

Neto had his contract selected by the Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Neto will replace David Fletcher, who has been optioned out to Triple-A after a brutal start to the 2023 season. Neto entered the year as a consensus top-100 prospect and was slashing .444/.559/.815 with three home runs and three stolen bases through seven games at Double-A Rocket City. He will start at shortstop and bat eighth in his MLB debut Saturday afternoon against the Red Sox. It appears that the 22-year-old is going to get regular playing time in the Angels' infield as he makes the jump all the way to the majors. He was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 first-year player draft and is the first player from that class to reach the big leagues.

The Angels reassigned Neto to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 first-round draft selection quickly rose to Double-A ball in 2022, slashing .320/.382/.492 over 136 plate appearances. Neto will likely return to Double-A to start the 2023 campaign, and at his current pace, he could find himself in Triple-A before the end of the season.

Neto was invited to the major-league side of Angels camp this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Neto went 13th overall in the 2022 first-year player draft and quickly made the jump to Double-A Rocket City while posting an overall .299/.371/.473 batting line with five home runs and five stolen bases across his first 37 professional games. The 22-year-old top shortstop prospect probably won't be a factor at the MLB level in 2023, but he's on a sharp upward trajectory.
