Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Berti (concussion) has resumed light baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti appears to have made only slight progress in his recovery from a concussion, an injury that resulted in him being placed on the 7-day injured list Friday. He likely won't be on track to return for this weekend's series against the Yankees when first eligible.

Berti landed on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Berti was struck in the back of the head by a pitch Thursday and diagnosed with a concussion, so the transaction is an expected one. Deven Marrero's contract was selected in a corresponding move, with the team looking for additional help in the infield.

Berti suffered a laceration to the back of his head that required three stitches, and he was also diagnosed with a concussion Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti was hit in the back of the head by an errant pitch from Austin Adams in the seventh inning. He exited the game under his own power but will likely be forced to miss further game action. Joe Panik figures to pick up most of the starts at third base in Berti's absence.

Berti will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti's eight steals have provided at least a bit of value to fantasy teams, but that's about all he's been good for this season, as he's homered just four times while hitting .215/.309/.320. Given that he's already on the wrong side of 30, it's possible he falls behind the Marlins' younger options down the stretch, as the team is already all but out of the playoff picture. Joe Panik, who's less than a year younger than Berti, will start at the hot corner on this occasion.

Berti is not in Sunday's lineup against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti is sitting for the second time in the team's three-game weekend series against Atlanta. He's managed only six hits in 32 at-bats across his last 10 appearances, which has translated to a .188/.257/.188 line. Joe Panik has been the beneficiary of Berti's struggles and will start at third base while hitting eighth Sunday.

Berti is not starting Friday's series opener against Atlanta, Jordan Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old started consecutive games Wednesday and Thursday but went hitless in seven at-bats, reaching base just once via a walk. Berti has gone just 2-for-21 with eight strikeouts since Joe Panik, who is starting at third base Friday, joined the Marlins.

Berti is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti had started the previous three games prior to Monday, but he'll sit for the second straight day Tuesday as Joe Panik mans the hot corner. The versatile veteran has just one hit in his last 13 at-bats and is slashing an underwhelming .222/.319/.335 on the campaign.

Berti isn't starting Monday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti had started in each of the last three games, and he went 1-for-13 with a run and six strikeouts during that time. Joe Panik will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti will head to the bench for the first time since June 5, ending a stretch of 21 consecutive starts. The 31-year-old provided only five extra-base knocks (three home runs, two doubles) during that stretch, but he batted .324 and posted a .405 on-base average. The newly acquired Joe Panik will enter the starting nine for the first time as a Marlin, but Berti should have some job security at the hot corner based on how he's performed in recent weeks.
