Berkman was hurt while stretching for a throw from shortstop Rafael Furcal on Justin Sellers groundout in the second inning of Saturday nights 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Berkman will have an MRI exam Monday in St. Louis. "First, I have to figure out whats wrong," he said before the finale of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium. "And then once I figure out what the injury is, then theyre going to have to tell me what to do. Id like to reserve judgment until I get the results of the MRI back. If I was one or two years into my career, it might be a little more nerve-racking. But Ive kind of been through the wringer before, so its not that big a deal. But it wont feel great when we land at 5 oclock this morning." The 36-year-old switch-hitting Berkman, the NL comeback player of the year in 2011, is on the DL for the sixth time in his 14-year career. He had just returned to the lineup on May 13 after being sidelined for 21 games because of a strained left calf he aggravated while chasing a popup.

Berkman, a six-time All-Star, underwent surgery on his right knee in 2005 and on his left knee in 2010 while with the Houston Astros.

"Going into the season, we looked at some guys that we had to be careful with." Adams who was the 699th pick in the June 2009 draft out of Philipsburg-Osceola High School in Central Pennsylvania, was in the starting lineup and batting seventh in his major league debut. "Its sad to see Lance go down with the knee injury, but I was definitely excited last night to get the phone call," Adams said. "Ive worked so hard to get here, and hopefully Ill make the most of my opportunity. Its a dream come true. Its definitely exciting to see the World Series Champions patch on the sleeve, and even more exciting to put it on and play for the Cardinals." Adams was the Cardinals minor league player of the year last season, and the Texas League player of the year with Double-A Springfield. "We started talking about the depth of this team and a lot of those guys from the minors weve used so far, but Matt Adams was certainly one of the others that weve kept our eye on," Matheny said. "And we decided that if we needed to reload, hed be a good option." ' ' '
