The Marlins released outfielder Mike Cameron, 38, because of conduct detrimental to the team. The club offered no other comment. Asked how Cameron took it, Marlins manager Jack McKeon said: "Not easy. Who would? But he knew he wasn't going to play much the rest of the year. We're going to go with some kids." Cameron dealt with several nagging injuries, including a sore right hamstring. "He's a pro, no question about it," McKeon said. "Here is a guy who has a great work ethic. He tried to help some of these young kids. I was fortunate to have him in Cincinnati. If they [young players] look the way he went about his work, they would learn something."
