Houston Astros slugger Lance Berkman has been held out of the lineup Friday night and reports indicate that he will be headed to the New York Yankees.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post, who Thursday reported the Yankees were giving up on acquiring Nationals outfielder Adam Dunn, reports Friday that the Yankees were on the verge of acquiring Berkman.

ESPN reports that the Steinbrenner family has given approval to spend the money to acquire Berkman's contract.

The 34-year old would be a designated hitter for the Yankees.

This season he is hitting .240 with 13 home runs and 49 RBI.
