Neto was removed from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a right shoulder injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Neto suffered the injury sliding into second base while attempting to steal the bag in the fourth. After he was removed, Jack Lopez moved to shortstop while Michael Stefanic entered to play second base, and the two would likely continue to form Los Angeles' middle-infield duo if Neto is forced to miss additional games.
