Angels' Zach Neto Moves to IL, Return Date Unclear

Angels shortstop Zach Neto has been placed on the 10-day injured list as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery, with no definitive timeline for his return, according to manager Ron Washington. While Neto was initially expected to potentially debut in April, he is currently not ready for game action and needs to strengthen further before participating in minor-league rehab games. Manager Washington acknowledged Neto's progress but emphasized the importance of caution in his recovery. In the meantime, other players like Kevin Newman, Tim Anderson, Nicky Lopez, and Kyren Paris are expected to fill in at shortstop during his absence. Despite the setback, Neto has shown promising signs in his rehabilitation, stating that his swing feels good and he is focusing on getting back to game-like conditions. The Angels are hopeful for his return, considering his potential as a key player in their lineup.
