Zach Neto - Page 14 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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."

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.

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.
