PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Boston Red Sox designated outfielder Mike Cameron for assignment and recalled infielder Yamaico Navarro from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Navarro was active for Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Also, Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis was out of the lineup with a sore left foot. Youkilis fouled a ball off it in Wednesday night’s game. General manager Theo Epstein says Youkilis’ X-rays were negative.
