Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Berti (calf) hit and played catch Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti recently experienced a setback with his left calf strain and received a platelet-rich plasma injection, but he was never completely shut down and should be ready for a rehab assignment before long. The utility player has been shelved since late May.

Berti will be given a PRP injection after suffering a setback with his left calf strain, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankees manager Aaron Boone deemed it a "minor" setback, but Berti won't be ready for rehab games this weekend as originally planned. It will also push back his timetable for a return, although that remains fluid. Berti has been shelved since late May.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Berti (calf) has been running at approximately 95 percent as well as hitting and throwing, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti is approaching a minor-league rehab assignment, which could begin shortly after the All-Star break. He's been on the injured list since May 25 as a result of a left calf strain. Berti will likely work as a utility man in a reserve role upon his return from the IL.

Berti (calf) is improving and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in a few weeks, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Berti is "moving in a good direction" and added that the infielder will "hopefully" be ready for a rehab assignment in "a few more weeks." Berti is currently on the 60-day IL due to a left calf strain and isn't eligible to be activated until late July. He will likely fill a utility role upon his return.

The Yankees transferred Berti (calf) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Berti was given a recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks after he suffered a high-grade left calf strain in late May, so the move to the 60-day IL will move back his minimum absence only a couple weeks. DJ LeMahieu is operating as New York's primary third baseman while Oswaldo Cabrera serves as a reserve infielder.

Berti (calf) is wearing a walking boot and isn't expected to be able to return from the 10-day injured list for 6-to-8 weeks, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berti was injured while running out of the batter's box during a game May 24 and was subsequently diagnosed with a high-grade left calf strain. He landed on the IL the following day and received a platelet-rich plasma injection May 28. DJ LeMahieu came off the injured list four days after Berti went down and has reclaimed the primary third base role for the Yankees.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Berti was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a high-grade left calf strain, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boone didn't provide a timeline for Berti, though the 34-year-old will remain on the IL well beyond the 10-day minimum. Berti sustained the injury in an 8-0 win over the Padres on Friday, when he collapsed to the ground after running out of the batter's box in the ninth inning. Kevin Smith was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre on Saturday and should provide infield depth while Berti is on the shelf.

The Yankees placed Berti on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain.
EDGE Analysis
Berti was in visible pain after falling to the ground as he began to run toward first base during Friday's game, and it will officially cost him at least 10 days as he heads to the injured list. The Red Sox's trainers appeared to be working near Berti's Achilles tendon while he was on the ground, though imaging showed he only suffered a calf strain as a result of the incident. Kevin Smith will come up from Triple-A to take Berti's roster spot.
