Jon Niese is back from the dead! RUN! ZOMBIE BASTARDS ARE HERE!!!
No, relax. It's just his arm that is back from the dead. Niese's MRI showed nothing more than a "weak scapula". Considering that Niese was named the Opening Day starter, this is comforting. Of course, I'm no doctor. And I don't know what the long term effects of a weak scapula are. But R.A. Dickey is pitching without an ulnar collateral ligament, so my expert diagnosis tells me that a weak scapula is no big deal considering I never heard the word "scapula" before about an hour ago.
Besides, he's had a nose job. After that, a weak scapula is child's play.
