Boston's Cameron returns from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

05/25/2010 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox have activated outfielder Mike Cameron from the 15-day disabled list.

He had been sidelined since April 19 because of a lower abdominal strain.

The 37-year-old Cameron initially thought he might be out of action for up to two months but returned ahead of schedule. The Boston Globe is reporting the injury might require surgery following the season.

Cameron played in five rehab games for Triple-A Pawtucket and went 4-for-14 with a home run and three runs batted in. He then played in three games for Double-A Portland and had five hits in 13 at-bats, including two home runs, one a game-ending shot on Sunday, and drove in three.

In 11 games with Boston this season, Cameron is hitting .233 without a home run or run batted in.

To make room on the roster for Cameron, the Red Sox designated outfielder Darnell McDonald for assignment.

The 32-year-old McDonald was recalled to replace Cameron and batted .263 with three homers and 11 RBI in 31 games.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
