Oakland Athletics prospect Ryan Lasko says he is making progress in his recovery after a collision with a minor league teammate that fractured his neck. Multiple reports say Lasko posted an update on social media Monday, indicating he has regained some feeling in his legs. The incident happened about four weeks earlier during a game in Frisco, Texas, when Lasko collided with Double-A Midland teammate Devin Taylor while trying to make a catch. Lasko subsequently underwent surgery on June 30 to address a fractured C6–C7 vertebra. The reports characterize the collision as frightening and the recovery as ongoing, with Lasko describing gradual improvements rather than a full return to normal function. The updates do not include further medical details or timelines for a return to play. Lasko continues to recover following the injury and procedure, and his latest comment reflects incremental gains in sensation as he heals.
