    John Maine acknowledged Saturday that his right shoulder is bothering him, then quickly backed away again, saying he thought he could remain in the New York Mets' starting rotation.

    It's hard to tell exactly what's going on with Maine. He'll visit a doctor Monday for more tests that should determine what the next move is for the oft-injured pitcher

    "There's still something going on back there," said Maine, who had surgery in September 2008 to remove a lesion from the back of his right shoulder socket. "Who knows what it is? It's something that has to be found. If it comes back good, you know I'll deal with it and pitch, like I have been."

    Maine has struggled all season, going 1-3 with a 6.13 ERA in nine starts. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday with right shoulder weakness after he missed three months last year with a tired shoulder, which he blamed on overwork following the operation.
