Zach Neto Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto missed time at both the start of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury and the end of the year due to a hand issue. However, in between the two ailments, the 24-year-old posted a quietly excellent season. Across 554 plate appearances, Neto logged a .257/.319/.474 slash line with 26 home runs, 62 RBI, 82 runs scored, and 26 stolen bases. Neto's barrel rate soared from 8.4% in 2024 to 14% in 2025, indicating his potential for 30-plus home run power. He's also stolen 56 bases over the past two seasons, so Neto is unquestionably a true power/speed fantasy asset. If there's one negative aspect of his profile, it could be his batting average. A career 24.6% strikeout rate limits Neto's upside in the category. Still, he makes a ton of hard contact, has plus speed, and should be locked in at the top of the Angels lineup. RotoBaller currently ranks Neto as the number six fantasy shortstop in traditional rotisserie scoring formats.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 13. This isn't shocking considering Neto hasn't been able to take the field since injuring his hand last Thursday. The Angels tried to take it day by day, but sadly, Neto wasn't progressing quickly enough. There is a chance that Neto can return in time for the final handful of games in the regular season. Otherwise, Neto will finish the season with a .257/.319/.474 slash line with 26 home runs, 62 RBI, and 26 stolen bases in 128 games. Denzer Guzman figures to see a majority of the playing time at shortstop while Neto is out. He could offer some deep league value down the stretch of the season.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This marks the third game in a row that Neto will miss after injuring his hand during Thursday's contest. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking to see Neto land on the injured list. For now, the Angels will take it day-by-day and keep Neto on the bench. Denzer Guzman will draw his second straight start at shortstop during Sunday's game. He could offer some deep league value if Neto does land on the shelf.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This marks the second game in a row that Neto will head to the bench. He injured his hand during Thursday's game, so hopefully he won't require a stint on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers should consider Neto as day-to-day. Denzer Guzman will start at shortstop and bat seventh versus right-hander Bryan Woo on Saturday. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update on Neto.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (wrist) was out of the lineup Friday against the Seattle Mariners with soreness in his left wrist, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Neto's wrist hasn't been at full strength since a hit by pitch forced him from a game on Aug. 20, though the injury hasn't required a stint on the 10-day IL to this point. "It really is minute to minute, day to day," interim manager Ray Montgomery said. "He only knows how it's feeling in the moment. So we're going to give him a minute to let it calm down a little bit." Based on Montgomery's words, it's hard to predict whether Neto will return to the lineup Saturday. The 24-year-old has popped two of his career-high 26 home runs this month, but his wrist issues may be having a negative effect, as he has hit just .162/.295/.324 through 11 games in September. The light-hitting Oswald Peraza started at short in place of Neto on Friday.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (wrist) is starting at shortstop and hitting in his customary leadoff spot for Friday's series opener at the Big A in Anaheim against the visiting Chicago Cubs and right-hander Javier Assad. Neto had to leave Wednesday's contest early against the Cincinnati Reds after he was hit by a pitch on his left wrist, but thankfully X-rays came back negative and he' ready to go for the weekend. The 24-year-old has never faced Assad in his career, but fantasy managers should be putting him back in their starting lineups. The former 13th overall pick in 2022 out of Campbell Univerity is having another strong season for his fantasy managers, slashing .267/.325/.479 with a career-high .804 OPS, 21 long balls, 55 RBI, 74 runs and 22 steals in 108 games. Neto has hit a cool .300 (12-for-40) with four homers, nine RBI and a steal in his last 10 contests.

X-rays came back negative after the game, and interim manager Ray Montgomery told reporters that Neto is fine. The 24-year-old took a pitch off the hand in the third inning and remained in the game until the Angels pulled him in the sixth. The Halos and fantasy managers are breathing a sigh of relief that Neto is OK, as he's enjoying a second straight highly productive season. Across 471 plate appearances, Neto has slashed .267/.325/.479 with 21 homers, 55 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 22 stolen bases. The Angels are off Thursday, but Neto will presumably be in the lineup to start a series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (wrist) left Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds with left-wrist soreness, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Neto was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the third inning and stayed in until the Angels replaced him with Oswald Peraza in the top of the sixth. He finished the game 0-for-2, ending a modest six-game hitting streak. The 24-year-old has put up terrific production for the second straight season, having slashed .267/.325/.479 with 21 homers, 55 RBI, 74 runs scored, and 22 stolen bases in 471 plate appearances.

In 435 plate appearances so far this season, the 24-year-old is slashing .272/.329/.481 with 19 home runs, 48 RBI, 72 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases. Neto's 13.2% barrel rate and 47.6% hard-hit rate are both career-bests by a significant margin. He profiles as a power/speed stud in fantasy who should be a staple at the top of the Angels order for years to come.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto led the charge on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, a stolen base, and three runs scored in a 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. Neto was all over the scoresheet in this one, which was sorely needed after an 0-for-13 slump that dated back to when he jammed his shoulder on June 24. He hasn't looked quite right since then, but tonight he was back to his usual self. The 24-year-old is hitting .270 with 49 runs, 13 homers, 30 RBI, and 14 stolen bases while hitting at the top of a decent Angels lineup. His power/speed combo is perfect for fantasy, and it makes him a top-12 option at shortstop. He should be owned and started in virtually all fantasy formats.
