Dickerson (back) played catch for the first time since the opening week of camp, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Dickerson said he was feeling good after the light throwing session, a small but important step on the road to recovery. Nonetheless, expect the Padres to be apprehensive with putting him back in game lineups before he feels completely healthy. A clearer timetable should be available as he progresses towards regular workouts.
