Nick Johnson out until Tuesday

It appears Nick Johnson’s lower back stiffness, which was reportedly brought on by participating in extra batting practice, will keep him sidelined until Tuesday (the Yankees have an off-day tomorrow). Johnson was expected to play today, however, it appears the Yankees are being cautious with him, as that is the safest strategy given his well-documented inclination for injuries. The lineup for today could be pretty interesting with Johnson’s absence and with Scott Kazmir, a left-hander, on the mound.
