Zach Neto is a top fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 8 (2024). Fantasy baseball managers should add Neto as a waiver wire free agent in some leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: There are a few things to like about Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto heading into Week 8. For starters, he plays every day, which can't be said about other shortstops on the waiver wire. So, if you are in a weekly league or a max add league -- where you can only make a certain number of moves each week -- Neto could be a sneaky option in some formats.

The 23-year-old has started 20 straight games for the Angels and has a hit in 14 of those contests. Neto's numbers won't wow you in fantasy, but there have been very few games that the shortstop has finished with zero counting stats. That's certainly a plus for fantasy managers in 14-plus team leagues.
Neto is not necessarily an add in smaller leagues. However, he can contribute in several categories, including home runs, doubles, stolen bases, and RBI. On the year, he is batting .241 with three HRs, eight doubles, 13 RBI, and six stolen bases. The Angels shortstop has also produced better numbers at the plate recently, hitting .323 with three HRs and seven RBI over the past 18 games. That makes him a potential add heading into Week 8.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
