Neto was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto was visited on the field by a trainer after making a bad throw to first base in the ninth inning. It's possible the young infielder's injury has something to do with his shoulder, which seemed to be giving him trouble after a steal attempt in the eighth, but more clarity should come after the Angels' training staff evaluates him.

Neto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 9-5 win against the Red Sox on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Neto opened the Angels' half of the first inning a solo blast to center field, and he notched a second RBI in the same frame when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The long ball was his second in as many games, as he belted a solo blast in his lone plate appearance as a pinch hitter Sunday. Neto is up to a .278/.322/.498 slash line on the campaign, and with 12 homers and 13 steals, he's one of seven big-league shortstops to reach double digits in both categories.

Neto swatted a solo homer as a pinch hitter in Sunday's loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Neto began the game on the bench, but he entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and went deep to left field to bring the Angels to within a run. The long ball snapped a 17-game homerless stretch for the talented young shortstop. Despite that drought, Neto has had a decent June overall, posting a .272/.322/.432 slash line with two homers, seven RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases through 20 contests.

Neto is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for Neto, who struggled to a .245/.287/.373 slash line with just two homers and four steals during that stretch. Kevin Newman will make his return from a minor ankle injury and start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale.

Neto went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Neto is taking advantage of his hot bat this month to make some noise on the basepaths. He has three steals on four attempts over his last four games, and he's batting .286 (10-for-35) over eight contests in June. The shortstop is up to 11 thefts on 14 attempts this season, though his running shouldn't come as a surprise after he swiped 30 bags last year. Neto has added a .272/.307/.497 slash line, 10 home runs, 26 RBI and 37 runs scored over 202 plate appearances.

Neto went 2-for-5 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Neto has swiped a bag in each of the last two contests, giving him 10 steals on the year. The shortstop is also hitting steadily, recording at least one knock in 18 of his last 21 games, though he has a modest six multi-hit efforts in that span. He's up to a .273/.309/.508 slash line with 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 35 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple through 45 contests while filling the leadoff role for the Angels.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Neto got on base on an error in the first inning but was caught stealing. He then delivered an RBI single in the third and swiped second, logging his first successful steal since May 21 versus the Athletics. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 10-for-44 (.227) in that span. He's providing well-rounded production overall, batting .270 with an .818 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals on 12 attempts, 24 RBI and 34 runs scored over 44 contests.

Neto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Neto started the game with a bang for the Angels, hitting one of what would be three home runs by his squad in the first inning alone. The 24-year-old is slashing .268/.309/.512 following Monday's performance, a pace that would set a career high in both batting average and OPS. If there's one area of improvement, it would be trying to cut down on the strikeouts as the third-year pro has struck out 11 times in his last eight games.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Neto lifted a moonshot in the first inning, taking Ryan Yarbrough deep on a 440-foot homer to center field. That was not a sign of coming attractions, as the Angels' offense struggled for the remainder of the game. Neto has homers five times and added 12 RBI over his last 14 contests, going 17-for-56 (.304) in that span. The shortstop is batting .283 with an .875 OPS, nine homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 10 doubles over 35 games this season.

Neto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old missed the start of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he started 33 straight games after making his season debut April 18 before getting a rest Sunday. Neto has been one of the most productive shortstops in baseball with eight homers, eight steals, 19 RBI and 28 runs in 143 plate appearances. Tim Anderson will step in at shortstop and bat leadoff versus Miami.
