Angels SS Zach Neto leaves game in 9th inning with apparent injury after making an error
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shortstop Zach Neto abruptly left the Los Angeles Angels' game against Boston in the ninth inning after making an error Tuesday night. Neto bobbled Romy Gonzalez's grounder to short before firing his throw over the head of first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. Neto quickly bent over in pain, and he left the game after consulting with the Angels' staff. Neto injured his right shoulder last September and underwent surgery that forced him to miss the first three weeks of the current season. He has been one of the Angels' best players for the second straight year, batting .278 with 12 homers, 29 RBIs and an .820 OPS. Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen escaped the jam created by Neto's error, keeping the game tied 1-1. ___ AP MLB:

Red Sox to abandon Kristian Campbell experiment at first base
BOSTON — On their last homestand, the Red Sox were moving forward with their plans to have Kristian Campbell be part of the solution to their first base vacancy. As recently as late last week, they got as far as identifying a game (Sunday in Atlanta) for Campbell's debut at the position before changing that plan Sunday morning thanks to Abraham Toro's recent hot streak. Advertisement But on Monday, manager Alex Cora acknowledged that the return of Romy Gonzalez from the Injured List, coupled with Toro's play of late, was enough to table the Campbell-at-first experiment, at least for now. Campbell may still some work pre-game at first in the event the Sox turn to him late in a game, after either pinch-hitting or pinch-running moves thin out the bench. 'Toro's play has helped us slow down that,' said Cora. 'Romy's going to play first, Toro's going to play first. (Campbell) will still take grounders here and there, but it's nothing that we're planning on doing now.' With Campbell focused mostly at second — and presumably the occasional game in the outfield — the hope is that Campbell can get going offensively again. Advertisement After being chosen as the AL Rookie of the Month for March/April, Campbell nosedived in May, finishing the month with a slash line of .134/.184/.171 with just one extra base hit and four RBI. 'When you don't have too many reps,' said Cora, 'it's hard. He's played one year in the big leagues and we have high expectations. Now it's time our time to help him to make adjustments and get him to where we want him to be. 'He was the best rookie in April. He wasn't one of the best hitters in May and now we're in June. Hopefully, that experience, those at-bats and the wat they attacked him helped him to make adjustments and we can help him through that. 'He's a guy who, you give him information and he applies it. But this is a different level. It is. The stuff is a lot different than in the minor leagues. We still believe in the swing. We still believe in the character. Obviously, we're going to go through stretches. We'll try to help him out, keep the confidence up, and remind him that he's still a good player regardless of what the numbers say. Hopefully, it takes one swing, one bullet to right-center that goes out and it clicks for him.' More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
