PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The New York Mets minimized first baseman Ike Davis' early camp visit to New York for additional medical tests as revealing nothing more than a harmless lung infection. Apparently, there is more to the story.

The team is concerned Davis has contracted valley fever. Davis took a physical when he arrived at spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and the exam showed an abnormal chest X-ray. He was sent to New York for further tests and when he returned to camp, the Mets said Davis had a simple lung infection.

"Following additional tests here and in NYC, pulmonary and infectious disease specialists have concluded that Ike likely has Valley Fever, which is expected to resolve itself over time," the Mets said in the statement. "Ike is not contagious, is not taking any medication for his condition and does not currently exhibit any of the outward symptoms associated with Valley Fever. However, Ike has been instructed to avoid extreme fatigue. No additional tests or examinations are pending, but Ike will have a follow up exam when the team returns to NYC in early April."
