Looking for a spark, the Angels have called up top prospect Zach Neto and sent utility player David Fletcher to AAA.
Angels promote Zach Neto, demote David Fletcher
Good lineup today. Lamb is benched even though a right hander is on the mound. Urshela is at first base.

is this bumping Soto to Bama? Squid and Fletch will get the SLC at bats
Squid is not long for this organization.
Neto is sneaky stellar- his arm is a rocket and he puts the barrel on the ball
elated with this – I’ve been pining for a real SS since the end of 2021 and here he is!
just start him everyday, keep Rendon at 3rd, and rotate Gio, Drury, Giffey, Fletch at 2b.
being an ASU grad, I’ve always measured him against Pedrosia and think he’s a ahead of him now.
While not quite a real “youth movement” it is nice to have the lineup infused with some youthful energy and enthusiasm. At this point I am ready to boot Rengifo for good, possibly in favor of Neto.
Man, Neto has got to be stoked making his MLB debut in Boston, less than a year from his last game with the Fighting Camels of Campbell U.
Like seeing Neto called up. Let Fletcher play everyday in SLC and then bring him up as a super-utlity guy when Walsh returns.
Wow! Perry certainly isn’t waiting.
Didn’t think Fletch could still be optioned. I thought for sure it would be a Lamb DFA.
That’s gotta suck for Fletch. But I hope he finds his swing when he gets to play everyday.
Perry has never hesitated to bring folks up early, it’s a bold move and I like it. Expect to see bullpen help before AS game
Love giving Neto a shot. I am a Fletcher fan and hope he can turn it around in SLC. Lamb should be jettisoned, and Squid brought up to be utility. Rengifo is not a MLB 2B, he has cost this team a lot with his lack of range, and he is not hitting the cover off the baseball to justify his playing everyday.
Urshella is a corner infielder as is Drury a corner infielder. I would rather have Fletcher at 2B when Neto is at short so Neto doesn’t have any concerns making the DP plays.
Wow. Didn’t know Fletcher could be optioned. Hopefully Neto can fix our SS problems. He looks real good
