Dr. Allen Schreiber said Juan Nicasio (neck) "has every reasonable chance to come back" and resume his MLB career. Nicasio had surgery Saturday morning to repair a fracture to the C-1 vertebrae in his neck. Rockies trainer Keith Dugger admits that Nicasio's long-term prognosis is difficult to determine since, as far as he knew, no other MLB player has ever suffered such an injury. "No idea... no idea," said Schreiber, when asked if the injury was career-threatening. "He's 24 years old. He can bounce back. He has every reasonable chance to come back completely... every reasonable chance to do that." In all likelihood, Nicasio will come back and pitch for the Rox next season, but it's scary that they're even talking about the possibility of his career being over.
