News: Berkman has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup due a back problem, the Astros' official site reports. "It's just the middle of my back has a spasm or some kind of a tweaked muscle," Berkman said. "That's all I know. Last night after the game, I went to lift weights and I got the dumbbells and sat down on the bench to do dumbbell bench, and I had to have [strength and conditioning coach] Doc Coleman come and get the weights from me. I couldn't move. It locked up on me."
Analysis: According to manager Cecil Cooper, Berkman could be out of the lineup until Friday. Geoff Blum got the start against the Reds Tuesday.

News: Berkman (calf) feels that he's ready to return from the DL now, but the Astros are exercising caution and probably won't activate him until at least Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Given how Berkman's calf injury evolved before his DL trip, it makes sense that the Astros are being cautious now. "We can't afford to put him in a game and him really exert himself and maybe if he has to do it in a game and gets hurt, because then we're realy behind the eight ball," manager Cecil Cooper said. "We need to get him out pre-game and see if he can really push it. If he's OK, then there's a possibility it could happen as early as Thursday."
