Berkman's knee surgery was delayed to Friday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Recommendation: The doctor performing the surgery had a scheduling conflict. There is still a possibility that once his knee is opened up that it will be determined that Berkman has torn his ACL, ending his season, but the hope is that he'll be back around the All-Star break.

Berkman of the St. Louis Cardinals will be sidelined at least six to eight weeks with an injured right knee. The team said Monday that Berkman will have an arthroscopic procedure later this week in Vail, Colo.
Advice: Berkman was hurt while stretching for a throw from shortstop Rafael Furcal on Justin Sellers' groundout in the second inning of Saturday night's 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 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.
