Houston ace Roger Clemens is day-to-day after straining his right hamstring.
"We'll assess him on a daily basis," Astros Manager Phil Garner said yesterday.

Clemens is still slated to pitch Wednesday against Philadelphia. . . .
Astros outfielder Lance Berkman completed a six-year, $85 million contract, keeping the three-time all-star from becoming a free agent after the 2005 season. . . .
Curt Schilling will miss Opening Day with the Red Sox, setting up David Wells to start against his former team, the Yankees. There even was a possibility Schilling would open the season on the disabled list since the Red Sox have three days off in the first 10 days and won't need a fifth starter until their 13th game, at home against Toronto on April 18 . . .
Hideo Nomo needed a strong showing to maintain any chance of earning a spot in the Devil Rays' rotation. He pitched four innings without allowing an earned run in a 6-4 victory over Philadelphia. . . .
Ken Griffey Jr. made his first defensive appearance of the year, and the Reds scored three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Twins, 4-1.
Griffey played center field for five innings, catching a shallow fly to center and chasing a double into the gap in right center.
