Lance Berkman of the Houston Astros has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf muscle. It is unknown when the first baseman will return but he could miss more than two weeks.
After a slow start Berkman is batting .273 with 50 runs, 18 home runs, 55 RBI and 6 stolen bases.
Fantasy Impact: Lance Berkman’s injury is a huge blow for fantasy owners as he is one of the elite players in the league. Hank Blalock (TEX), Jose Lopez (SEA), James Loney (LAD) or Mark Teahen (KC) might be your best possible replacements on waiver wire.
