Astros.com: ” Lance Berkman hit in the cage and did some light throwing on Tuesday, but he’s still not ready to play in a live game.”

Sounds like Lance is improving.  Light throwing definately means progress. 

“Berkman may receive an at-bat Wednesday, but he won’t be playing in the field. If that goes well, he’ll DH on Thursday when the Astros play the Double-A Hooks in Corpus Christi. ”

Hopefully Lance will keep improving and be in good shape come opening day.  Keep your fingers crossed!
