Ryan Lasko, the No. 18 prospect for the Athletics<\/a>, is in stable condition today after undergoing spinal decompression and stabilization surgery resulting from a C6-C7 vertebra fracture.<\/p>\n

Lasko suffered the injury during a horrific collision in a game earlier this week. While playing center field for Double-AA Midland on Tuesday, Lasko and right fielder Devin Taylor collided while going for a ball in the gap.<\/p>\n

Lasko, 24, was down for 10 minutes before leaving the field on a cart and going to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano, where he underwent surgery.<\/p>\n

The outfielder currently does not have feeling in his legs. Dr. Jonathan Poggi, who performed the surgery<\/a>, said the hope is that Lasko will regain feeling, although it could take a significant amount of time.<\/p>\n

Goodness. What a collision. At first glance, it doesn’t look that bad. But then you slow it down and watch it back, and it’s awful.<\/p>\n

Lasko’s neck goes straight into Taylor’s chest\/shoulder area, and he immediately goes down. No movement whatsoever. Nothing. Horrifying.<\/p>\n

Fans in attendance commented that Lasko did eventually give the thumbs up on the way out, for what it’s worth.<\/p>\n

But, clearly, it’s going to be a while before he ever sees a ballfield again.<\/p>\n

A’s manager Mark Kotsay spoke about the collision before Wednesday’s game, saying there was “hope” that Lasko regains feeling in his legs.<\/p>\n

“It’s obviously going to take time,” he added. “But, the positive in the statement from the doctor is that there was not a definitive statement saying that he was not going to regain feeling in his lower half. Send prayers to him, his family, to the teammate and the team. It’s a trying time for them. It’s an emotional time for them.”<\/p>\n

Lasko was a second-round pick by the A\u2019s in the 2023 MLB Draft<\/a> out of Rutgers University. He spent some time with the A\u2019s this spring in big league camp earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
