Angels Injure Neto, Outright Padlo

The Los Angeles Angels have placed shortstop Zach Neto on the 10-day injured list due to lower back inflammation, while reinstating Brandon Drury from his own IL stint. Neto's return timetable is uncertain as he deals with lingering back discomfort, marking his second IL stint in two months. Infielder Kevin Padlo has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake after being designated for assignment. The Angels will rely on Luis Rengifo and Drury to fill the infield void left by Neto's absence.

Injuries Shake Up Angels' Infield During Successful Texas Trip

The Los Angeles Angels won a crucial game against the Texas Rangers, but their infield was thrown into chaos with injuries to Zach Neto, Anthony Rendon, and Gio Urshela. Neto's oblique strain is significant, and there is no clear timeline for his return. Rendon was hit on the wrist and couldn't swing the bat, while Urshela tumbled into first base and left the game with a hip injury. The Angels are now facing uncertainty on their infield, but they are still in contention for the playoffs and have won 9 of their last 11 games.

Brett Baty's Fantasy Baseball Rise: Waiver Wire Pickup and Buzz-worthy Prospect.

Brett Baty, Taj Bradley, Zach Neto, Garrett Whitlock, Max Kepler, and Kyle Isbel are all potential waiver wire pickups for fantasy baseball players. Baty is a top prospect who is expected to become the Mets' starting third baseman, while Bradley has the potential to be a top-40 fantasy starter. Neto is a rookie who could see playing time as the Angels' everyday shortstop, and Whitlock is a pitcher who should be a fixture in Boston's rotation. Kepler is a good hitter who just returned from injury and is projected to have a strong rest of the season, while Isbel is a deeper league option with potential for home runs and steals.

Angels promote No. 2 prospect Zach Neto, option David Fletcher.

The Los Angeles Angels have promoted top prospect Zach Neto, their first-round pick from the 2022 draft, to be their everyday shortstop. In a corresponding move, the Angels have optioned David Fletcher to Triple-A. Neto has never played above Double-A but has been impressive in the minor leagues, while Fletcher has struggled with his bat after signing a five-year, $26MM extension. Fletcher's demotion could be temporary, and he may return as a utilityman, while Neto could have the shortstop position for years to come if he performs well.

Angels promote top prospect Zach Neto, demote David Fletcher.

The Los Angeles Angels have promoted Zach Neto, their 2022 draft pick, to the major leagues and installed him as their regular shortstop, making him the first player from the 2022 draft to reach the majors.
