Lance Berkman (shoulder) remains questionable to play Friday. Berkman has been out since a pain-killing injection Wednesday in his sore right shoulder. He's feeling better, but an indication that he could be held back again Friday is the fact that he was used as a pinch-hitter decoy Thursday, standing on the top step with a helmet on before the injury-strapped Cards sent up pitcher Kyle Lohse instead to pinch-hit with two outs in the ninth. Berkman should certainly be ready at some point this weekend.
