A top Athletics outfield prospect<\/a> still can\u2019t feel his lower half after spinal surgery was needed to repair fractured vertebrae following a scary collision with a teammate in Double-A ball.<\/p>\n

Ryan Lasko, a 24-year-old outfielder<\/a> in the Athletics system, was injured during a game with Double-A Midland RockHounds after diving to catch a ball while playing center field.<\/p>\n

The problem was Lasko\u2019s right field teammate was also barreling down to catch the ball. They both gave up their bodies for the potential catch, but collided as they hit the turf.<\/p>\n

Lasko\u2019s teammate, Devin Taylor, was able to get up and field the rolling ball that split the two defenders, but Lasko stayed on the ground in what was a pretty ugly crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After he was carted off , it was found that Lasko fractured his C6-C7 vertebra, according to MLB.com<\/a>. He needed spinal decompression and stabilization surgery to repair the injury, and he was in stable condition.<\/p>\n

However, due to swelling, Lasko still doesn\u2019t have feeling in his lower half just yet.<\/p>\n

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay discussed Lasko\u2019s injury on Wednesday, saying that “there\u2019s hope the feeling comes back.”<\/p>\n

Lasko is one of the Athletics\u2019 top prospects, entering the season as the franchise\u2019s No. 18 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He was taken by the Athletics\u2019 in the 2023 MLB Draft<\/a> in the second round.<\/p>\n

While he opened the season in Double-A, Lasko made it to Triple-A Las Vegas last season.<\/p>\n

This year, Lasko is slashing .209\/.275\/.360 with six home runs, five triples and 34 RBI.<\/p>\n
