Performs fielding drills Saturday Neto (shoulder) fielded groundballs and make throws to second base Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Per Fletcher, it was the first time Neto has thrown to a bag this spring, though he began a throwing progression in mid-February. The 24-year-old shortstop is progressing in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to begin the campaign on the injured list. Manager Ron Washington stated last week that Neto should be able to make his season debut sometime in April.

Angels don't expect SS Zach Neto to be ready by opening day with shoulder still recovering

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto will not be ready to play by opening day with his recovery from right shoulder surgery still ongoing

FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Should make season debut in April Angels manager Ron Washington said Thursday that Neto (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day but should make his season debut "soon after" in April, Jeff Fletcher of The Oran...

Impact The expectation has been that Neto would need a stint on the injured list to start the season, so Washington saying the shortstop is tracking toward a return in April is relatively good news. Neto underwent right shoulder surgery last November and began a throwing progression early last week. It's not clear when Neto might be cleared to play in games, but Washington's timeline suggests the 24-year-old could see some Cactus League action before the schedule runs out. Luis Rengifo, Tim Anderson, Kevin Newman and Scott Kingery are among those competing to fill in at shortstop for the Angels until Neto is ready.

Begins throwing progression Angels manager Ron Washington said that Neto (shoulder) began his throwing progression Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Washington added that Neto is not yet throwing with full effort, but the process of the shortstop ramping things up following last November's right shoulder surgery has begun. The expectation is that Neto will likely need a stint on the injured list to begin the season, but a clearer picture on his timetable should be available in the coming weeks.

FEBRUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to bat fifth or sixth Angels manager Ron Washington said Friday that he expects Neto (shoulder) to bat fifth or sixth this season, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neto batted second for the Angels for most of the final two months of last season, but with Mike Trout (knee) expected back and Jorge Soler added to the mix, Neto will slide down a bit in the batting order. A stint on the injured list at the beginning of the season for Neto is likely as he continues his recovery from right shoulder surgery.

Ahead of schedule Neto said he got "good news" on his surgically repaired right shoulder Tuesday and is ahead of schedule, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Details of Neto's shoulder operation remain scarce, and the shortstop did not further elaborate on the "good news" he received, nor did he know whether he would be ready for Opening Day. Neto has been hitting off a tee but has not yet been cleared to throw. The expectation has been that the 24-year-old will begin the season on the injured list, but further clarity on his situation should arise as spring training rolls along.

Expected to begin season on IL Neto (shoulder) is not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Neto underwent right shoulder surgery in early November, but the Angels haven't revealed the type of procedure he had or how long he might be sidelined. While a stint on the 10-day injured list to begin the season is expected, Bollinger writes that the team is "optimistic" the young shortstop won't miss much time. There should be further clarity on Neto's situation this week once position players arrive in Angels camp. Tim Anderson, Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery, Luis Rengifo and Kyren Paris are the candidates to fill in at shortstop until Neto is ready.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • MLB.COM

Undergoes shoulder surgery Angels general manager Perry Minasian revealed Friday that Neto had right shoulder surgery Wednesday and could miss the start of next season, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Impact Minasian didn't divulge specifics regarding the nature of the injury or the procedure. Neto hurt his shoulder on a slide on Sept. 26 and missed the final three games of the regular season. He initially tried to rest and rehab the shoulder but was still feeling discomfort, necessitating the operation. There should be more information later in the offseason regarding Neto's timeline. Luis Rengifo (wrist) or the newly-acquired Scott Kingery could get reps at shortstop if Neto needs to miss time.

Still out Sunday Neto (shoulder) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers.

Impact Manager Ron Washington said Friday that Neto could be back Saturday and Sunday, but the shortstop will end up missing the final series. Neto broke out this year with a 23-homer/30-steal season in 155 games while slashing .249/.318/.443.

Remains out of lineup Neto (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Neto will miss a second consecutive game due to a right shoulder injury he sustained Thursday against the White Sox. It's unclear whether Neto will also be held out of the Angels' regular-season finale Sunday. Jack Lopez will start at shortstop Saturday and bat second.

Impact Neto had to exit Thursday's game against the White Sox with right shoulder irritation after landing hard on a stolen-base attempt. However, while he will miss one start, it sounds like the injury will not be a season-ender.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injures shoulder Thursday Neto was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a right shoulder injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Neto suffered the injury sliding into second base while attempting to stretch a single into a double during the fourth inning. After he was removed, Jack Lopez moved to shortstop while Michael Stefanic entered to play second base, and the two would likely continue to form Los Angeles' middle-infield duo if Neto is forced to miss additional games.
