Berkman Placed on DL

St. Louis has placed 1B Lance Berkman on the 15-day disabled list after re-aggravating a left calf strain on Wednesday which had previously kept him sidelined for a week.  He missed a month in 2009 when he suffered a similar injury while with Houston.  Berkman is batting .348 with no homers, two runs batted in, and a .500 on-base percentage in seven games this season.
