Anthony DiComo explains that, instead of pink eye, Wilson Betemit actually has corneal ulcers, potentially due to contact lenses that he began wearing this spring.

Corneal ulcers are a relatively common condition that can vary by cause and severity. Superficial cases can take less than a week to heal, and Betemit said that his was no different. When he is eligible to be reinstated from the disabled list in two weeks, he said he expected to play, even if he remains unsure whether he'll attempt to use contact lenses again.

He expects to be ready to play when he is eligible to be removed from the disabled list.
