Overview

  • Zach Neto made his season debut on April 19, 2025, following a successful rehab from shoulder surgery, contributing an RBI double in his first at-bat.
  • The Angels activated Neto after a 13-game Triple-A rehab stint, where he hit .286 with four home runs and eight RBIs.
  • Tyler Anderson pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out six, securing the Angels' 2-0 win over the Giants.
  • The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Angels, who had struggled offensively in recent games.
  • To accommodate Neto's return, utility player Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment, marking a shift in the team's roster dynamics.
