ANALYSISThe expectation has been that Neto would need a stint on the injured list to start the season, so Washington relaying that the shortstop is tracking toward a return in April is relatively good news.

Tim Anderson,
Kevin Newman and
Scott Kingery are among those competing to fill in at shortstop for the Angels until Neto is ready to go.
