Lance Berkman

News: 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 he is 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. Berkman, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in 1999, said it started aching in the offseason. He had an MRI on Monday that revealed the bruise, but the five-time All-Star said the swelling subsided after treatment Tuesday. “It’s still a little sore, but the good news from the MRI is that whatever the problem is, I’m not going to be able to make it worse,” Berkman said. “There’s no reason not to do as much as I can with it.”

Willy Aybar

Comments Off

Updating an earlier item, Willy Aybar’s injured left wrist is said to be in a plastic splint, and he should miss no more than a week of practice, according to the Tampa Tribune.

Our View: Aybar is not a starter, but it is still not a great way for the Rays to begin camp. Hopefully the team’s prognostication of a week ends up being correct.
