Update (4:45pm): Berkman’s day-to-day with a jammed right ankle. Not too bad, I guess.

4:00pm: Lance Berkman left today’s game with an apparent ankle injury after stepping on the back of Bryan Bullington’s foot as the Royals’ righthander covered first on a double play attempt. Marcus Thames took his place as the designated hitter. No word on the severity of the injury, but we’ll keep you updated.

Berkman was 0-for-2 on the day, but he was hitting .333/.444/.600 in his previous 18 plate appearances, so it’s obviously not an insignificant loss.

    That’s exactly what the struggling offense needs. And if he misses time say hello to Cervelli the starting catcher.

    Jammed right ankle? I didn’t know that you can Jam your ankle. At any rate it sounds like something that can be easily taken care of.

    When I told my friend that Berkman might be out for a while, without knowing the extent of the injury yet, he said it’s not a big deal because Berkman doesn’t seem to want to be in New York. He followed that by starting a conversation about Hideki Matsui that surely would have ended with “Cashman should have re-signed him,” but I walked away before he got that far. I’m sorry for this useless story, but there are too many irrational Yankee fans.
