Berti will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Brian Anderson recently making his return from the 10-day injured list and Joey Wendle (hamstring) on pace to return from the IL this weekend, Berti looked to be at risk of losing out on regular playing time at third base. Given how well Berti has performed over the past several weeks, the Marlins likely would have carved out a quasi-everyday role for the 32-year-old somewhere in the lineup when the team was back to full strength, but Jazz Chisholm's (back) move to the IL temporarily solves that conundrum. With Chisholm at risk of being sidelined through the All-Star break, Berti should take over as the Marlins' everyday second baseman and leadoff man against both left- and right-handed pitching. He's been a fantasy goldmine thus far in June, slashing .309/.374/.392 while supplying 15 runs, 10 RBI and a whopping 18 stolen bases.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Anderson made his return to action Monday and got the start at third base, but Berti slid over to second base and hit leadoff in the contest with Jazz Chisholm (undisclosed) getting another day off. Berti has hit safely in 11 straight starts, batting .356 (16-for-45) over that stretch with 10 of his 22 steals on the season.

Berti isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak in which he's hit .351 with a triple, two doubles, five runs, four RBI and nine stolen bases. However, he'll get a breather Saturday while Willians Astudillo starts at the hot corner and bats seventh.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Despite reaching base three times, Berti didn't find his usual success as a runner. He got picked off at first base by Taijuan Walker in the first inning, then got thrown out trying to steal second in the ninth -- the first time Berti's been caught stealing since April 28, snapping a streak of 20 straight pilfers. The 32-year-old utility man is in no danger of losing playing time however, given his .318/.389/.400 slash line in 22 contests in June.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a double, two stolen bases and a run scored Thursday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Berti continued his torrid stolen base pace, and he now has 17 swipes across 20 starts in June. While his aggressiveness on the bases is the highlight, Berti has also hit .299 with 13 runs and 10 RBI in that span. With both Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) still sidelined, Berti should remain a fixture in the lineup for the time being.

Berti went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base during Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old spent most of May on the COVID-19 injured list, and he has 16 stolen bases in as many attempts across 22 games since returning from the shelf. He's operated as Miami's primary third baseman with Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) sidelined, but even once they return, Berti should continue to see regular action in a utility role given his .766 OPS and production on the basepaths.

Berti went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Berti hit a leadoff single in the first inning before stealing second and third base. He got aboard again in the ninth and added his third steal of the game, which is impressive even by his standards. The 32-year-old has had a green light on the basepaths -- he's notched 14 stolen bases in 16 games in June, and he's yet to be caught this month. The utility man has posted a .283/.382/.398 slash line with 18 steals in 19 tries, two home runs, 11 RBI and 22 runs scored across 131 plate appearances this year.

Berti went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
That's now 11 steals in his last 14 games, and 15 on the year, for Berti. The 32-year-old is also batting .302 (16-for-53) over that 14-game stretch with a .362 OBP, affording him plenty of chances to run, and while he doesn't bring much power to the table, Berti will retain fantasy value as long as he's seeing regular playing time.

Berti went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran utility player simply can't be stopped on the basepaths right now. Berti is up to 14 steals on the season, tying him for fourth in the majors with Harrison Bader, but 10 of them have come in June without a caught stealing. Berti has been more than a one-trick pony during his hot streak, slashing .308/.379/.365 on the month with six RBI and nine runs, and while he's been holding down the starting job at third base with Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) currently sidelined, Berti should see regular playing time around the diamond even when the Miami roster is healthy as long as he keeps producing.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Berti got aboard with a double in the fifth inning and a single in the seventh before scoring on each of Miguel Rojas' RBI doubles in the contest. The latter time aboard, Berti was able to swipe a base for his eighth steal in 12 games in June. He's added four multi-hit games this month, and he's now slashing .278/.386/.412 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 12 steals and 20 runs scored through 32 contests.
