Angels Infielder Zach Neto Leaves Game With Right Elbow Soreness
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto left Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros in the bottom of the fifth inning with a right elbow injury.
It wasn't immediately clear what happened as Neto made a high throw from shortstop to first base on a routine play. His throwing motion appeared to be unimpeded by an injury.
— Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) May 22, 2024
However, right after making the throw, manager Ron Washington came out to check on Neto along with an Angels trainer, and the shortstop was removed from the game. Luis Guillorme took over for Neto.
Shortly thereafter, the initial diagnosis was relayed via the Angels' communications department.

Neto, 23, spent time on the injured list last season with separate injuries to his left oblique and lower back.
This season Neto is one of two Angels (along with Taylor Ward) who has only missed one of the team's 49 games this year. He's hitting .249 with six home runs, 18 RBIs, and six stolen bases.
Neto told reporters after the Angels' 2-1 victory that he'll undergo further testing.
Zach Neto said he has some concern about his elbow because he’s had issues with it before, but the training staff told him they didn’t think it was serious.

He will get some more tests when they get back to SoCal.
Zach Neto said he's had elbow issues in the past, which is a bit of a concern, but that the initial diagnosis was that it's not serious. But he'll undergo testing.
