DR HQ: Second-half returns

With the post all-star part of the season just underway, we’ll look at selected players on the disabled list, what their injuries are and expectations are for the rest of the season.

Lance Berkman (DH, TEX)
Injury: Inflammation, left hip
ETA and performance expectations: He’s taking BP and if the hip does not flare up again, he’s expected back the end of July. He shouldn’t see a big improvement, as it appears age has finally caught up to him.

Clay Buchholz (RHP, BOS)
Injury: Bursitis, right shoulder
ETA and performance expectations: First it was a strained right trapezius muscle and now the bursitis. Factor in a couple of setbacks and the immediate future does not look good. His overall shoulder health is not good right...

Almost!
