They time his days off when the Astros face lefties ... I wouldn't read too much into it.

This had nothing to do with a lefty, he hurt is hand and they were playing it safe. He did PH tonight

From KFFL: Jul 22 Updating previous reports, Houston Astros 1B/OF Lance Berkman (hand) did not play, Sunday, July 22, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to the Associated Press. However, he could play, Monday, July 23, against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He "could" play? WTF does that mean? I hate waffling news on Sundays!

This is from rotoworld:

Lance Berkman is expected to play Monday after sitting out against another southpaw on Sunday.
Berkman likely would have start against the right-hander on Sunday. He's bothered by a swollen left hand.

That doesn't make any sense to me!! I think I'm going still going to play him.

Is Berkman playing tonight? I have to make a decision on him or Crawford in 20 minutes. Any quick info. would be appreciated.

I live in Houston and heard on one of our sports radio shows that he is in the starting lineup tonight.
