Houston first baseman Lance Berkman has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a nagging left knee injury. Berkman had arthroscopic surgery on March 13 after the knee swelled in the first days of spring training. The team initially said Berkman would miss two to four weeks. The 34-year-old All-Star, in the last year of his contract, has had knee problems before.
