Angels' Zach Neto Remains Out with Shoulder Injury

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury sustained while attempting to steal a base on Tuesday. Despite being out of the starting lineup for multiple games, Neto has appeared as a pinch hitter, indicating that he may not require a stint on the injured list. An MRI revealed no structural damage to his surgically-repaired shoulder, but he has yet to test throwing without pain, which is necessary before resuming defensive play. Kevin Newman has been filling in at shortstop during Neto's absence, though his offensive performance has been underwhelming. Neto's condition is considered day-to-day, with hopes that he can return to the lineup soon, possibly after the Angels' scheduled day off. The team and fans remain optimistic about the recovery of one of baseball's promising young shortstops.
