Righthander Samuel Deduno, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain, threw a 15-pitch live batting practice Monday afternoon.

The live BP session was Deduno’s first test since he suffered a setback two weeks ago in a rehab assignment.

“I felt good,” he said. “For it being the first day I felt good. I think the next step would be to go out and pitch somewhere on a rehab again.”
