Berti went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Berti broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning when he went yard off of Washington starter Patrick Corbin. It was the fourth round-tripper of the season for Berti, who also picked up a single. The veteran utilityman, who got the start at third base, is slashing .224/.324/.350 across 214 plate appearances. Berti has five steals on the year but has also been caught four times.

Berti went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Berti padded Miami's lead with his blast off Chicago starter Zach Davies in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old has posted multiple hits in three of the last five games, going 7-for-16 (.438) in that span. The infielder has an uninspiring .222/.328/.333 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases in eight attempts through 61 games. He's enjoyed an everyday role lately, drawing time at second base and third base.

Berti is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti heads to the bench after making six straight starts -- five at third base, and one in left field, Isan Diaz is making his second consecutive start at the hot corner, and he may have overtaken Berti for primary duties at the position while Brian Anderson (shoulder) is on the shelf. Berti offers some intriguing speed (four steals in six attempts) if he's able to stick in an everyday role, but his .165 average on the season may have made manager Don Mattingly willing to explore other options.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI single, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
With Brian Anderson (shoulder) out, Berti drew the start at third base for the second straight game. Berti provided a go-ahead two-RBI single in the eighth inning before coming around to score an insurance run on a Jose Devers single. Through 120 plate appearances, Berti has two home runs, four stolen bases, 10 RBI and 16 runs scored. He won't provide much pop, but the 31-year-old could warrant some fantasy attention for his speed if he hangs onto an everyday role while Anderson is out.

Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti's time as a regular in the Miami lineup appears to be over after Brian Anderson (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday. Anderson took over as the Marlins' third baseman in Miami's 9-3 win in the series opener, snapping a streak of 11 straight starts at the position for Berti. With Isan Diaz and Lewis Brinson seemingly locked into everyday roles in place of the Marlins' other two injured regulars -- Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) and Starling Marte (rib), respectively -- Berti may only be in store for a couple of starts per week.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Berti singled and scored a run in the fifth and then came back up in the seventh and sent a long ball to straightaway center to make it a 5-4 deficit for the Marlins. Tuesday was only his second multi-hit effort of the season but it was also his second home run in four games after not having one in the first 17 contests. Overall, Berti is still struggling from the plate a bit, as he's slashing .212/.300/.385 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and nine runs scored to go along with a 6:16 BB:K.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's victory over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Berti spoiled a strong start by Giants hurler Kevin Gausman with a seventh-inning homer that tied the game at 1-1. He tacked on another RBI with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to help break the game open. After playing a limited role early in the season, Berti has now started five straight games, and he has collected one hit in each of his past four. He has yet to steal a base this season, so his fantasy production has been disappointing overall.

Berti will start at third base and bat seventh Thursday against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti figures to see a significant increase in playing time with Brian Anderson (oblique) forced to the injured list. While he's gotten off to a slow start with the bat -- he has only six hits in 38 plate appearances -- Berti could be a source of stolen bases assuming he can get on base at a strong enough clip.

Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Berti broke camp with Miami as a utility player, he had some hope of earning semi-regular starts due to his ability to play the outfield and multiple infield spots. However, with the regular outfield trio of Corey Dickerson, Starling Marte and Adam Duvall thriving and with rookie middle infielder Jazz Chisholm getting off to a hot start to the season, playing time hasn't opened up for Berti. He'll remain on the bench for a third straight game Sunday.
