Manager A.J. Green confirmed that Dickerson has been scratched from Monday's game due to tightness in his back.

This is a tough break for both parties, as Dickerson was slated to make his first start in the outfield this spring before the issue returned. It's unclear how long he will be out, but he should be considered day-to-day for now. The injury has been persistent, and if the 26-year-old is forced to miss time to start the season, Jabari Blash will likely take his place as a reserve outfielder.
