Mike Cameron "Injury"

MINNEAPOLIS -- Red Sox outfielder Mike Cameron is returning to Boston to meet with team doctors Friday after an initial diagnosis here showed a possible kidney stone, his agent said Friday morning.

"I spoke to Cam last night,'' agent Mike Nicotera wrote in a message. "Seems to be a kidney stone that he needs to pass. He's going to follow up with doctors in Boston today. Apparently this type of thing is very common for outfielders of his age. I know he tried to reach out to Jamie Moyer, just to ask some questions for someone close to his age. But apparently Moyer doesn't know how to text with his cellular phone and didn't get the message.''

Cameron was scratched from the starting lineup before Thursday's game after complaining of lower abdominal pain. He was briefly examined by a Twins team doctor before it was determined he should remain behind.

"I'm just pretty sore,'' Cameron said. "It's unusual. I had one about 10 years ago when i was pretty young, maybe like 30. But that one passed no problem."

"I was able to come here and stretch, try to get loose, went outside and ran, but could hardly even walk after that. If there was a dog after me, I had no chance today. Even with my walker.''

do you have injury in quotes because you think he is faking in some way or because it is not your average injury.

I think it is apparent why it's in quotes if you read my post.

"Apparently this type of thing is very common for outfielders of his age. "

Seems that the six other positions are immune to kidney stones at his age.
