Berti went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Berti had a groundout lead to a run in the second inning and an RBI single in the ninth. His stolen base was the infielder's 11th of the season, nine of which have come in his last 14 contests. The speedy 32-year-old has hit fairly well this year with a .269/.382/.398 slash line, two home runs, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 110 plate appearances.

Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of his opportunities. Berti has started 10 straight games, slashing .306/.390/.361 over that stretch with four RBI, six runs and six of his 10 steals on the season.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Getting another start at third base with both Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) on the shelf, Berti swiped his ninth bag of the year in the ninth inning as he attempted to end a scoreless tie, but a poor bunt from Jacob Stallings erased him at third base. Berti has seven steals in seven attempts over his last 11 games, but his .244/.340/.293 slash line during that stretch highlights his limited fantasy value even when he's seeing regular playing time.

Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of the regular role created by a succession of injuries around the Marlins' infield. Berti has started seven straight games and 10 of the last 11, and while he's batting only .243 (9-for-37) over that stretch, he's drawn six walks for a .349 OBP, scored seven runs and stolen six of his eight bases on the season.

Berti will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti received the leadoff nod in the Marlins' last game Sunday against the Giants, but that's only because Jazz Chisholm was getting the day off. Even though he'll drop in the lineup Tuesday with Chisholm back in action, Berti looks like he'll continue to hold down a regular role at third base until either of Joey Wendle (hamstring) or Brian Anderson (back) return from the injured list. While starting each of the Marlins' first six games of June, Berti went 8-for-22 with two doubles, four runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

Berti will start at shortstop and bat sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be filling in for a resting Miguel Rojas in the front end of the twin bill, Berti could end up settling in as the Marlins' primary third baseman in the short term after the top two options on the depth chart -- Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) were placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. WIllians Astudillo and Luke Williams are also candidates to pick up work at the hot corner, but Berti's ability to play all over the infield and outfield could be enough for him to hold down a near-everyday role until the Marlins reclaim some health. Berti had already started in three of the Marlins' previous four games and is getting on base at an excellent .391 clip this season while chipping in two home runs and four stolen bases across 64 plate appearances.

Berti went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran utility player started his second straight game at second base while Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) is on the mend, and Berti stole a base in each contest. He's up to four stolen bases in 59 plate appearances on the year, adding two homers, four RBI and 12 runs with a .277 batting average.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a lengthy stint on the COVID-19 list, Berti got the nod at second base and hit leadoff in place of Jazz Chisholm (hamstring). Chisholm is expected to be back in action this weekend, but Berti has made an impact in a utility role, slashing .295/.426/.523 over 54 plate appearances this season while tallying two homers, four RBI, 11 runs and three steals.

Berti was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Friday and will lead off and play second base against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti last played in a big-league game three weeks ago, but he's ready to go after going 1-for-3 in a pair of rehab games. He'll start in place of Jazz Chisholm, who's battling a hamstring injury, though Chisholm is expected to return at some point over the weekend and push Berti back to the bench.

Berti (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joey Wendle (hamstring) is also reporting to Jupiter this week to begin a rehab assignment, and both he and Berti should have similar timelines for making their respective returns to the Marlins' 26-man active roster. Berti, who has been on the COVID-19-related injured list since testing positive for the virus May 7, is expected to supplant Erik Gonzalez as the Marlins' top utility infielder once he's activated.
