 | | CINCINNATI -- With Mike Cameron still unable to play and the Mets not inclined to have Jose Santiago join their rotation, it became likely Thursday that Cameron would be assigned to the disabled list and Aaron Heilman would be recalled as the immediate, and possibly only, replacement for the disabled Kris Benson. |
 | | But after Cameron's sore wrist didn't respond as the club had hoped to a weekend cortisone injection, and he remained unable to swing without pain, the club began to consider assigning the would-be right fielder to the disabled list, thereby creating a way to bring Heilman, as opposed to Seo, to the big leagues. |
 | | Cameron told Randolph two things on Thursday: one, his wrist still was less than 100 percent ready, and two, he thought "It's not good for [the Mets] to be short-handed." It was Cameron's way of suggesting that an assignment to the DL might benefit the team -- and him. |
