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.
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto fell a triple shy of the cycle in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks, going 3-for-5, including his eighth home run of the season. The 23-year-old also had two RBI and scored twice. After a slow start, Neto is coming off a month of May that saw him slash .284/.337/.477 with a .355 wOBA and 130 wRC+. He also lowered his K% from 30.6% in April to 17.9% in May. So far in June the K% is 18.9%, so he's still making contact despite the low .229 BA during the month, likely a result of an abnormally low .231 BABIP, so this three-hit game could be the beginning of a hot streak.
