Starting at first base in Game 2 Berti is starting at first base and batting ninth Monday in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Royals.

Impact The 34-year-old Berti has never played first base before in the majors or minors, but he's been working out at the position in recent days and the Yankees feel comfortable with how he's looked there to throw him into the fire. Oswaldo Cabrera -- who started at first base in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts -- will begin the contest on the bench.

Swipes bag, reaches three times Berti went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's win over Oakland. He was also hit by a pitch.

Impact Berti singled in his second trip to the plate before eventually stealing third as part of a double steal with Anthony Volpe. The infielder would go on to reach three times in the contest after also being hit by a pitch in the eighth, showing that he can be a solid contributor for the Yankees in his first start since May 24. It marked Berti's fourth multi-hit performance this season while the stolen base was his fifth on the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • Associated Press

Brought back from IL The Yankees reinstated Berti (calf) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Berti is back with the Yankees for the first time since late May after completing a lengthy recovery from a left calf strain. Prior to being activated, Berti was sent out on an extended rehab assignment, during which he slashed .342/.422/.526 with two home runs and five walks over 12 games. Though Berti looks to be dialed in at the plate, he'll have to settle for a utility role with the Yankees and may not be guaranteed much more than the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Berti (calf) will continue his minor-league rehab stint through the weekend and "a handful of days" into next week, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Yankees can add two players when rosters expand Sunday, but Berti won't be one of them. The utility man has been rehabbing with Double-A Somerset since Aug. 24 and has gone 2-for-12 with a home run, three RBI and a 2:4 BB:K through five contests. It's unclear if New York believes Berti needs more games in the minors to ramp up or if the team has simply elected to go in another direction with roster expansion, but it appears the 34-year-old won't be back with the big club until at least the end of the week.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in first rehab game Berti (calf) went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in an minor-league game with Double-A Somerset on Saturday.

Impact In his first game action since suffering a calf strain in the Yankees' matchup with San Diego on May 24, Berti crushed a three-run blast in the fourth inning. Considering the length of his absence, the versatile veteran may need at least a few more rehab games before he's ready to rejoin the big club. When he does return to the Yankees, Berti is likely to fill a utility role that probably won't include everyday at-bats.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting up rehab assignment Friday Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Berti (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Somerset, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After experiencing no setbacks with his right calf upon being cleared for full baseball activities over the weekend, Berti is ready to play in games for the first time since late May. He'll likely remain on assignment at least through the weekend while he looks to regain his timing at the plate following a lengthy layoff, but if he fares well, Berti could make it back from the 60-day injured list before the end of August. Berti had been filling a utility role for the Yankees prior to straining his calf, but he could pick up regular at-bats at third base once he's activated. The Yankees have been leaning on youngsters Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza at the hot corner since Jazz Chisholm (elbow) landed on the injured list Aug. 14.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for full activity Berti (calf) has been cleared for full baseball activity and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com.

Impact Berti's last game action took place May 24, so he'll likely need to play in multiple minor-league contests before he's deemed ready to return to the big club. The utility man slashed .273/.322/.327 with a home run, six RBI, six runs and four steals over 17 games with New York prior to landing on the IL due to a calf strain. Upon his return, Berti will probably see action at multiple positions, though he's unlikely to have an everyday role.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment Berti (calf) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com.

Impact Berti has been participating in hitting and fielding drills at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla. The 34-year-old last saw game action May 24, so his rehab stint could last several games. Berti is likely to settle into a utility role upon his return, and he could help fill the team's void at third base with Jazz Chisholm heading to the injured list due to an elbow injury.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Running at 80 percent Berti (calf) has increased his running intensity to 80 percent, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the utility man is "trending back in a good direction," per MLB.c...

Impact Berti has been on the injured list since late May after suffering a left calf strain. He resumed running in late July and has since upped his intensity, though he remains without a definite timeline for a return. Boone did mention Saturday that Berti is closer than Anthony Rizzo (forearm) to rejoining the Yankees, according to the Associated Press.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Running, but not back to full speed Berti (calf) ran and performed other baseball activities Friday, but he's not yet back up to full speed, per MLB.com.

Impact Berti has been on the shelf with a left calf strain since late May. He resumed running at approximately 95 percent prior to the All-Star break, then had a setback and was given a PRP injection. Though he's back to being able to run, Berti isn't likely to begin a minor-league rehab assignment until he's up to full speed. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said July 22 that it's "going to be a little bit of time" before Berti is ready to return, though a clear timeline hasn't been shared.

Running, but not back to full speed Berti (calf) ran and performed other baseball activities Friday, but he's not yet back up to full speed, per MLB.com.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits and plays catch Monday Berti (calf) hit and played catch Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Berti recently experienced a setback with his left calf strain and was administered a PRP injection, but he was never shut down and should be ready for a rehab assignment before long. The utility player has been shelved since late May.

JULY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting PRP injection after setback Berti will be given a PRP injection after suffering a setback with his left calf strain, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact 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.

JULY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Running at 95 percent Berti (calf) has been running at approximately 95 percent as well as hitting and throwing, per MLB.com.

Impact Berti is approaching a minor-league rehab assignment, which could begin shortly after the All-Star break. He's been on the IL 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.
