Berti could play five or six times a week as the Marlins' super-utility player during the compacted schedule, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

His most likely defensive homes are in center field or middle infield, but Berti is preparing to play just about anywhere. "We have three weeks [to Opening Day]," Berti said Monday. "Kind of every other day, pick an infield spot for one day, and the next day pick an outfield spot. Just work on that for the time being until we're comfortable with where our legs are at." The 30-year-old journeyman was one of the surprise fantasy performers of the 2019 campaign, slashing .273/.348/.406 with 17 steals in 20 attempts over only 73 big-league games, and consistent playing time could allow him to make an impact in SBs once again.
