by Pat LackeyFiled under: Astros, NL Central, MLB InjuriesWith the Houston Astros riding a sweep of the first place Cardinals and suddenly finding themselves just a game away from first place the NL Central, it seems like a bad time for Lance Berkman to be going on the disabled list with a calf strain. Of course, that's just what the Astros announced today, as Berkman's only been able to play part of one game since the end of the All-Star break. A looming four-game series against the Chicago Cubs, the team they're tied with for second, makes the timing of this news seem even worse. Berkman, as usual, is the Astros' best hitter this year, with an on-base percentage over .400 and a team high 18 homers. Without him in the lineup every day, they'll have to hope that the resurgent Miguel Tejada can keep hitting for at least two more weeks until Berkman can return to daily duty.Lance Berkman Headed to Disabled List originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:31:00 EDT .
