"Kieboom, 28, hasn't appeared in the majors since 2023. The former top-100 prospect was once viewed as a potential long-term contributor with the Nationals but never found his footing in the big leagues. He's a career .199/.297/.301 hitter in 508 plate appearances, all of which came with the Nationals, who selected him with the No. 28 overall pick back in 2016."
"The 2025 season is Kieboom's first away from the Nats. He's had a fine year in Triple-A Salt Lake, slashing .319/.368/.449 with nine homers and 11 steals in 402 trips to the plate. It's an impressive-looking stat line, though after weighting for home park and league run-scoring environment, Kieboom's rate stats are about two percent better than league average in the overwhelmingly hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League (by measure of wRC+)."
"Neto, 24, returns to the injured list for the second time this season. The 2023 first-rounder missed the first few weeks of the year recovering from 2024 shoulder surgery but has largely matched his breakout 2024 form when healthy. In 128 games and 554 plate appearances, Neto has slashed .257.319/.474 with 26 homers and stolen bases apiece. He hit .249/.318/.443 with 23 homers and 30 steals in 155 games/603 plate appearances last season."
The Angels selected infielder Carter Kieboom to the major-league roster and placed shortstop Neto on the 10-day injured list with a left-hand strain. Kieboom, 28, has not appeared in the majors since 2023 and owns a career .199/.297/.301 line in 508 plate appearances after being the No. 28 overall pick in 2016. In Triple-A Salt Lake he hit .319/.368/.449 with nine homers and 11 steals in 402 plate appearances, about two percent better than PCL average by wRC+ after adjustments. Neto, 24, returned to the IL for a second time this season and has posted a .257/.319/.474 slash with 26 homers and 26 steals in 128 games and 554 plate appearances. The Angels have not provided a recovery timetable; shortstop alternatives include Denzer Guzman, Oswald Peraza, and veteran Chris Taylor.
