Goes deep Sunday Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Impact Neto got the Angels on the board in the fifth with a solo blast off Justin Verlander. He was then right in the thick of the team's four-run ninth inning comeback with an RBI and scoring the winning run. Both of Neto's hits have gone for extra bases through his first three starts of the year, adding more power to a lineup that's fourth in baseball with 33 home runs.

RBI double in season debut Neto went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Impact Activated off the injured list earlier in the day, Neto wasted no time in making an impact, driving home Nolan Schanuel with a two-bagger in the second inning and then racing home on a Matt Chapman fielding error. Neto hit seventh in his 2025 debut, but he's likely to move into a more prominent spot in the order once he's fully up to speed -- although Friday's performance suggests he's already there. After a breakout 2024 in which the 24-year-old shortstop slugged 23 homers and stole 30 bags in 155 games, big things are expected from Neto now that he's recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.

Angels shortstop Zach Neto activated following shoulder injury and surgery last year

The Los Angeles Angels activated shortstop Zach Neto off the injured list before Friday night’s series opener against the San Francisco Giants

APRIL 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Returns from IL The Angels reinstated Neto (shoulder) from the injured list Friday.

Impact Neto has spent the first few weeks of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November. The 24-year-old has been playing rehab games at Triple-A Salt Lake since the start of April, however, and has slashed .286/.397/.592 with four homers, eight RBI and 16 runs scored while logging a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. Now fully healthy, he figures to slide back in as the Angels' everyday shortstop. Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

MLB roundtable: Can the Yankees keep this up? Is Shane Baz a star?

Season debut coming soon Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Neto played a full game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and hit his fourth home run in what was his 12th rehab contest. He's slated for another full nine innings with Salt Lake on Wednesday. The Angels finish up a road trip in Texas on Thursday, so it seems likelier that they'll wait until their homestand -- which begins Friday -- before activating Neto. Sunday is the final day of Neto's 20-day rehab window, so the latest he'll be activated is Tuesday versus the Pirates.

Blazing hot in rehab stint Neto (shoulder) has gone 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, two walks, six runs and four RBI over his past two minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact Neto is rehabbing from right shoulder surgery, and he seems just about ready to make his season debut with the Angels. The third-year shortstop has slashed .320/.452/.760 with three long balls, two doubles, 10 runs, six RBI and a stolen base overall across 31 plate appearances during his rehab assignment. Just as importantly, Neto has been able to play shortstop in each of his past two games and in three of his past four contests after being limited to a designated-hitter role in each of his first three appearances with Salt Lake.

Ready to play shortstop Neto (shoulder) will start at shortstop Friday as he continues his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake, Bees play-by-play announcer Tony Parks reports.

Impact The 24-year-old begin the rehab assignment Tuesday and was limited to serving as the designated hitter in his first few games, but he's now been cleared to play the field. Neto could be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Angels sometime next week after he gets in a few games defensively.

Homers in rehab game Neto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact Neto began a rehab stint April 1 and has collected exactly one hit in each of his three games so far. He's gone a collective 3-for-13, and two of his hits (a double and Thursday's homer) have gone for extra bases. Neto hasn't yet played the field, however, as he's started all three of his games at DH. He'll likely need to get in some work on defense before he's ready to join the major-league club.

Cleared to begin rehab assignment Neto (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact It's not yet clear whether he will immediately play shortstop or be eased into action at designated hitter. Neto is working his way back from right shoulder surgery and could be ready to rejoin the Angels soon, although there's no known target date yet. Kevin Newman has been filling in as the Angels' primary shortstop.

Move to IL official The Angels placed Neto (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old continues to rehab from offseason shoulder surgery and is now officially on the injured list, as expected. According to MLB.com, manager Ron Washington said Tuesday that Neto isn't ready to play in games and has "no date" for his return, so it's unclear when he may be able to make his 2025 debut. Kevin Newman, Tim Anderson, Nicky Lopez and Kyren Paris are all candidates to see time at shortstop with Neto sidelined for at least the first couple weeks of the season.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Return date still unclear According to Angels' manager Ron Washington, Neto (shoulder) isn't ready for game action and has "no date" for his return, per MLB.com.

Impact Neto hasn't necessarily had a setback -- it's long been expected that he'd open the season on the injured list -- but fantasy managers who are stashing the talented young shortstop will need to wait a bit longer to learn of a clear timeline for his return. It remains in play for Neto to return to big-league action at some point in April, especially since he was recently described as being "ahead of schedule" in his rehab from last November's right shoulder surgery, though Washington added that the 24-year-old will see some work in minor-league rehab games before making his season debut for the Angels. While Neto remains out, Kevin Newman, Tim Anderson, Nicky Lopez and Kyren Paris could all log time at shortstop for the Halos.

Continuing to make progress Neto (shoulder) has been throwing across the diamond in addition to participating in other defensive drills, Jack Janes of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Neto began throwing from shortstop to first base this week after being limited to shorter throws during the first half of March. The 24-year-old is also doing "just about every defensive drill that the rest of the team is doing" aside from throwing and was recently cleared to take swings off a hitting machine. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to face live pitching, and Neto remains likely to begin the season on the injured list, but he continues to be described as "ahead of schedule" in his rehab from the right shoulder surgery he underwent last November. Neto made it clear that he's pleased with his progress to this point, saying, "Honestly, I feel really great with my shoulder and where it's at. I'm feeling way stronger since when I first walked in here. I'm trusting our training staff and our coaches to get me in the right spot. I'm feeling great every day I walk in here."
