Athletics Prospect Ryan Lasko Injured | Oakland Athletics News

A scary collision during a Double-A game left Athletics prospect Ryan Lasko needing emergency spinal surgery after a fractured vertebra. The 24-year-old, who was having a promising season with six homers, was hit by teammate Devin Taylor while chasing a flyball — leaving him motionless on the field. Trainers and paramedics rushed to his aid before he was transported to the hospital. The A’s organization is rallying around him, with GM David Forst confirming constant contact with Lasko’s family and praising the quick response of medical staff. Lasko is in stable condition, and the team is offering counseling to all players affected by the traumatic event. Recovery will be long, but hope remains for a full comeback from this major setback.
