Player News
Zach Neto hit a solo homer and drove in two runs while going 3-for-4 and adding a stolen base in a 9-5 win for the Angels over the Red Sox on Monday.
Neto’s other two hits were singles, but he drove in his first run of the game when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded off Walker Buehler. The 24-year-old now has a dozen homers on the season, and his steal gives him 13. Those are solid numbers, but even more impressive when you consider that he missed close to 20 games to begin the year. Neto was not viewed as a potential fantasy star when he was drafted by Los Angeles. There’s significantly more upside in his bat than anticipated.
Jack Kochanowicz allowed four runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Monday.
Walker Buehler allowed five runs over four innings while picking up no-decision against the Angels on Monday.
Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a three-run homer in a loss to the Nationals on Monday.
CJ Abrams went 3-for-5 and scored three runs in a win over the Padres on Monday.
Josh Bell homered and drove in three runs in a win for the Nationals on Monday.
