Angels' Zach Neto: Homers in third straight game
Rotowire
Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to Houston.
Neto came up big in the seventh inning, slugging a solo shot to give the Angels a 4-3 lead. The talented young shortstop has now gone deep in each of his past three games, though those are his only hits during that span, and they've been accompanied by seven strikeouts. That's pretty indicative of how the season has gone for Neto -- he's batting an uninspiring .231 with a 30.4 percent strikeout rate through 64 contests, yet 28 of his 58 hits have gone for extra bases (14 doubles, one triple and 13 homers). He also has 10 thefts and is one of 11 big-leaguers so far with double-digit long balls and steals.

Angels' Zach Neto: Sitting third straight
Rotowire
Neto (neck) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Wednesday will mark the Angels' third consecutive game without Neto in the starting nine while he battles whiplash. Manager Kurt Suzuki said the decision to sit him down was precautionary, per Bollinger, so it doesn't seem like the team is worried about the 25-year-old's injury leading to a stint on the IL. Oswald Peraza will pick up another start at shortstop; meanwhile, Neto will have a team off day to recover ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

Angels' Zach Neto: Dealing with whiplash
Rotowire
Neto was removed from Saturday's 14-3 win against the Rays due to whiplash, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Neto collided with Ian Seymour at home plate on a wild pitch in the seventh inning, which led to the former being helped off the field after being evaluated by medical staff. If Neto is unable to play in Sunday's series finale, then Oswald Peraza or Donovan Walton would likely draw the start at shortstop.

Angels' Zach Neto: Helped off field Saturday
Rotowire
Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays after colliding with Ian Seymour, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Neto scored on a wild pitch during the top of the seventh inning, though he did so while colliding with pitcher Ian Seymour at the plate. Neto's head seemed to take the brunt of the impact, and he remained on the ground for a while before walking off the field with assistance. The Angels will likely put him through concussion protocol, and if he needs to spend time on the injured list, Oswald Peraza and Donovan Walton should be in the mix at shortstop.
