Angels Notes: Halos Make Roster Move, Zach Neto Injury Update, Major Trade Rumors

In this story:
The Los Angeles Angels didn't play on Thursday, but did make a roster move. Veteran infielder Kevin Newman was reinstated from the paternity list while Kyren Paris was optioned back to Triple-A Salt Lake.
In other news, star shortstop Zach Neto revealed the results of the MRI on his shoulder as well as a return timeline. Neto was forced to leave Tuesday's thrilling victory early after jamming his surgically-repaired shoulder while attempting to steal second base, and later making an uncharacteristic throwing error that was likely due to the discomfort.
Finally, as the trade deadline gets closer, more insiders have been linking various Angels players to potential trades. A star outfielder and reliever could potentially garner some prospects to a Halos farm system that is in need of a boost.
