Neto went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.

The shortstop would then drive home three runs of his own over the course of the night, starting with an RBI double in the third and finishing with a two-run blast in the eighth, giving him his 12th long ball of the campaign.

Neto is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It's Neto's first day off since May 24. The young shortstop is just 4-for-35 at the dish over his last nine games, so it's probably not a bad time to give him a day to clear his head. Luis Guillorme will fill in at short against Texas.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Neto has collected three steals over his last nine games despite going a poor 6-for-32 (.188) in that span. The shortstop is up to 12 steals on 18 attempts this season. He's added a .247/.297/.427 slash line with 11 home runs, 38 RBI and 33 runs scored over 84 contests. While he offers decent power and speed, he'll need to make more consistent contact to be reliable in the majority of fantasy formats.
