Rockies manager Jim Tracy said Tuesday that Juan Nicasio (neck) is "definitely moving in the right direction." Nicasio was able to move around, with assistance, for the second straight day Tuesday and spoke briefly on the phone with his mother on Monday. The 24-year-old underwent surgery Saturday morning to repair a fracture to the C-1 vertebrae in his neck after being struck in the head by a comeback during Friday's game against the Nationals.
