Nationals' Denard Span reportedly gets good news on back... but DL stint likely?

Washington Nationals' center fielder Denard Span visited a specialist in Dallas, Texas on Thursday to get another opinion on his ailing back and the spasms that have kept him out of the lineup on occasion over the last month.

The good news? Well there isn't really any "bad" news. Both Washington Post reporter James Wagner and MLB.com's Bill Ladson reported on Thursday night that sources with knowledge of the situation said 31-year-old Washington Nationals' center fielder and leadoff man Denard Span got good news from the back specialist he visited in Dallas, Texas on the Nats' day off.
