Orioles right-hander Jim Johnson is scheduled to throw lightly today as part of his rehab progression after experiencing some lower back soreness during the offseason. He says it's feeling good and jokingly denied that he initially hurt it lifting the Lombardi Trophy after his beloved New York Giants won the Super Bowl.

"But I like that,'' he said. "You can say that."
