Rockies placed Juan Nicasio (neck) on the 15-day-disabled list. Nicasio one of the scariest injuries in baseball when he took a line drive off his neck. He underwent neck surgery Saturday morning and will likely miss the remainder of the season. The 24-year old rookie had really started to figure things out striking out ten in his last full start. He will depart with 4.14 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 71 2/3 innings.
