The Boston Red Sox have designated outfielder Mike Cameron for assignment, according to The Boston Globe.
Cameron, who served mainly as the righthanded-hitting portion of platoon with J.D. Drew in left field, hit .149 with three homers and nine RBIs in 33 games (94 at-bats) this season.
Cameron, 38, signed a two-year, $15.5 million contract with the Red Sox prior to the 2010 season and was penciled in as their starting center fielder. However, injuries limited him to just 48 games last season. And he began this season as a part-time player.
In his 17-season major league career, Cameron is .249 hitter with 272 homers and 950 RBIs. He is a three-time Gold Glove winner and was an All-Star in 2001.
