Alyson Footer, of Astros.MLB.com, reports Houston Astros 1B Lance Berkman (knee) hyperextended his right knee Thursday, May 25. He left the game in the third inning after irritating his right knee. Berkman said, "Structurally, I think everything is OK. I just missed four or five games [with a sore left hamstring] and here we are, right back in a different type of deal. It's frustrating, because I know I had to fight through a lot of stuff with my knee last year and I was hoping to be able to put it completely behind me now." Manager Phil Garner said Berkman will likely have a "couple of days" off. He will then be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
