Angels place rookie SS Zach Neto (oblique) on IL

The Los Angeles Angels placed rookie shortstop Zach Neto on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left oblique strain.

Neto departed Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers after the first inning due to the injury. He told reporters Thursday that he doesn't yet know the timeline for his return.

Neto, 22, is batting .259 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in 55 games. He was the first player from the 2022 draft class to reach the majors. He was picked 13th overall.

The Angels recalled infielder Andrew Velazquez from Triple-A Salt Lake and left-hander Kolton Ingram from Double-A Rocket City.
