Zach Neto's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting division-rival Texas Rangers. Veteran Luis Guillorme will take over at shortstop and will hit ninth in the batting order against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Neto isn't injury in any way, but this will be his first day off since May 24. He's not among the elite fantasy names at the premiere position, but he offers a decent alternative in deeper leagues at shortstop with his underrated power/speed combination. Neto has been in a slump at the plate of late, going 9-for-52 (.173) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI, five stolen bases and 12 strikeouts in 15 games since June 21. Guillorme is a low-upside DFS replacement on Monday. The 29-year-old has no home runs and only six RBI in his 98 at-bats in 2024 as a utility option for the struggling Halos.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Zach Neto has put together a sneaky solid season through the first half of the 2024 campaign. He continued his impressive season during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It was a quiet game for Neto until he blasted a three-run home run off right-hander Shelby Miller in the ninth inning. Sadly for the Halos, they weren't able to make the full comeback in this game. Neto has posted 11 home runs and 11 steals through 81 games this season. He's worth a look in fantasy leagues for managers looking infield depth.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday afternoon's win over the division-rival Oakland Athletics, collecting three RBI in the victory. Neto cleared the bases with a three-run double off Athletics right-hander Austin Adams to give the Angels a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old former first-round pick has been a steady presence at shortstop for the Halos in 2024, batting .256 (67-for-262) with 10 home runs, 18 doubles, 35 RBI, and 10 stolen bases covering 77 games. Neto is a decent fantasy option for power and speed in AL-only or deep mixed leagues.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics and right-hander Luis Medina, playing shortstop and batting sixth in the order. Neto left Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers early with left-calf tightness but had a day off on Sunday to rest up, so he won't end up missing any time with the minor injury. The 23-year-old infielder has hit a pedestrian .250/.299/.433 on the year with 10 home runs, 32 RBI, nine stolen bases and 28 runs scored in 252 at-bats to make him a worthwhile middle infield option for those in deeper fantasy formats. Neto has faced Medina three times in his career and has one hit and one RBI. The former first-rounder has gone 15-for-63 (.238) with four homers, four doubles, 14 RBI, no walks and 15 strikeouts in 19 games in June.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (calf) was removed from Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left calf tightness. He injured himself on a sliding stop of a ground ball. The 23-year-old also fouled a ball off his leg earlier in the game. Neto was able to walk off under his power. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout before exiting. Michael Stefanic replaced him in the fourth inning. The severity of Neto's injury is unknown, and he is considered day-to-day. Stefanic should see an uptick in at-bats with Neto sidelined, but he is not on the fantasy radar after slashing .231/.310/.269 over eight games in 2024.
