Berkman out for Astros' spring opener

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) Houston All-Star first baseman Lance Berkman will sit out the Astros' spring training opener against Washington because of a bruised left knee.

Manager Brad Mills said Wednesday that he's being cautious by holding Berkman out of Thursday's game. Berkman injured the knee Sunday during team workouts as he was running the bases.

Berkman fielded ground balls and took batting practice during Wednesday's workout, but was told not to run. He said the swelling subsided after he got treatment on Tuesday. (MORE)
