NEW YORK — Red Sox manager Terry Francona says outfielder Mike Cameron isn’t quite ready to return to the team.
Cameron is experiencing some tenderness in a different area of his injured abdomen, and Francona says he just wants to make sure he’s ready to go when he comes off the disabled list.
Cameron worked with a trainer on Monday at Fenway Park and is expected to do the same on Tuesday. Francona says he could play another rehab game on Wednesday at double-A Portland.
The Red Sox put Cameron and Jacoby Ellsbury on the 15-day DL on April 20.
Ellsbury, who has a bruised chest, is scheduled to play in the outfield for Portland on Tuesday. Francona says they will decide the next step for Ellsbury when he rejoins the team in Boston on Wednesday.
