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.

Neto went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a stolen base against the Athletics in a 10-5 win Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Neto's power and speed were both on display in the win -- he popped a two-run homer in the third inning, then reached on an infield single, stole a base and came around to score in the ninth. The talented young shortstop missed the first few weeks of the season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but that issue seems well behind him. Neto has posted an .889 OPS through 30 games, collecting eight homers, eight steals, 18 RBI and 25 runs scored.

Neto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Neto opened the scoring with a third-inning blast, but the Angels' lead was short-lived. This was a positive performance in the series opener for the shortstop, who went just 1-for-12 with a walk and three strikeouts over the three-game series versus the Orioles this past weekend. For the season, Neto is batting .279 with an .845 OPS, five homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven stolen bases and five doubles over 22 contests.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Neto remains sizzling at the plate -- he's hit safely in his last 11 games. In that span, he's 16-for-45 (.356) with seven steals and seven extra-base hits. The shortstop missed three weeks at the start of the season while finishing up his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. It hasn't taken him long to settle in -- he's batting .290 with four home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, seven steals and five doubles across 65 plate appearances.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He led off the bottom of the first inning by driving the first pitch he saw from Tarik Skubal into the rocks in straightaway center field at Angel Stadium, but it was all the offense the Halos could muster on the night. Neto has hit safely in eight straight games as he quickly makes up for his belated start to the season, batting .364 (12-for-33) during that streak with three doubles, three homers, four steals, four RBI and five runs.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in a loss to Detroit on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Neto extended his hitting streak to seven games with a third-inning single, and he subsequently stole second base before being driven in by a Jorge Soler homer. Neto got a late start to the campaign due to a shoulder injury and initially batted seventh in the order, but he soon moved up to the No. 2 slot and has now batted leadoff for the Halos in three straight games. He's hit well in his 12 contests so far this season, slashing .283/.313/.565 with three home runs, six RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases.

EDGE Analysis
