Juan Nicasio (neck) was able to walk and move around on his own Monday.
Great news. Nicasio needed surgery Saturday morning to repair a fracture to the C-1 vertebrae in his neck after being hit by a comeback during Friday's game against the Nationals. The most important thing is for him to have a normal life, but doctors are hopeful that he will be able to resume his MLB career.
