Carlos Beltran returned to the Mets clubhouse Sunday for the first time since his frightening head-to-head collision with teammate Mike Cameron. He will see a doctor on Monday in New York to find out when he can play again. "I just feel happy that I'm alive and that I'm going to be back on the field," Beltran said in the visiting dugout at Dodger Stadium about 90 minutes before the game. Beltran and Cameron were running full speed toward David Ross' looping fly to short right-center during Thursday's 2-1 loss at San Diego, and their heads hit as they left their feet to catch the ball. "I have a little fracture and it moved about six millimeters," Beltran said, pointing to his left sideburn. "They want to see if it moved more, or went back in place. And if it did, they won't have to do surgery. I don't want to go through surgery. "The doctor told me this is something that if I needed surgery, it should be done in a seven-day period. If you let it go and you want to have surgery later on, it can be a major surgery." Cameron sustained a concussion, a broken nose and two fractured cheekbones, forcing the two-time Gold Glove winner to undergo surgery on Friday night. Beltran came out of it with a fracture in his left cheekbone, a concussion and soreness in his left biceps. "I didn't have a lot of range of motion, but today I feel like I can extend my arm good," Beltran said. "It's sore, but there's no pain."
