Impact This is back-to-back starts at short for Berti as Joey Wendle battles an oblique issue. With his great speed, Berti could see a significant boost in fantasy value if Wendle is forced to the injured list.

Starting at SS again Tuesday Berti is starting at shortstop and batting ninth for the Marlins on Tuesday against the Twins.
Enters lineup Berti will replace the injured Joey Wendle (oblique) in the Marlins' lineup Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Heraldreports.
Impact He could also be in line for an uptick in playing time should Wendle need a stint on the injured list, which would make the speedy Berti a viable fantasy play in deeper leagues. Last year's stolen base leader has yet to swipe a bag in three games -- two starts -- this season.

Hits first homer of spring Berti went 2-for-3 with a home run Saturday in a Grapefruit League win for the Marlins over the Nationals.
Impact He also added an RBI single an inning later. It's the first homer of the spring for Berti, and it came off Taylor Williams to start the game. The 33-year-old infielder has gotten off to a solid start this spring with a .269/.424/.385 slash. Berti has been a major steals threat over the past few seasons, including a league-leading 41 thefts in 102 games last year, and he should at least be productive in that category again in 2023.

Inks one-year deal Berti signed a one-year contract with the Marlins on Monday, avoiding arbitration, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Berti can now set his sights on the diamond after settling his contract for the upcoming season. He'll earn $2.125 million in 2023, per the Associated Press, and there's a $3.5 million club option for 2024, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. The 33-year-old showed that he still has plenty of gas in the tank during the 2022 campaign by slashing .240/.324/.338 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 41 stolen bases and 47 runs scored across 102 contests.

Swipes bag No. 40 Berti went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over Atanta.
Impact The veteran utility player will almost certainly be the only player in the majors this season to reach the 40-steal plateau. Berti's also set a new career high in the category at the age of 32 -- his previous best was only 17 in 2019 -- but his .236/.319/.328 slash line indicates how one-dimensional his fantasy value has been. With MLB making rule changes that should boost the running game league-wide in 2023, he could be very overvalued at draft tables if his SB total no longer stands out from the pack.

Sitting Sunday Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Berti started the past 12 games and will take a seat Sunday after he posted a .471 OPS during that stretch. Charles Leblanc will step in at the keystone and bat second in the series finale at Milwaukee.

Breaks out of funk Berti went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Milwaukee.
Impact After going 0-for-18 with seven strikeouts in his previous four games entering Thursday's contest, Berti returned to form with two base knocks. He showed off his speed as well, with one of his hits being an infield single, after which he swiped second base for his 38th steal of the season. He is batting .179 with one home run and five stolen bases in 84 at-bats this month, but perhaps the multi-hit effort is a sign that he will close the season on a high note.

Swipes 37th bag Berti went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact The veteran utility player is healthy and running again, and Berti's stolen five bases on six attempts over the last nine games. The surge has extended his major-league lead in that category, giving him 37 on the season, and he stands a good chance of being the only player to reach 40 this season -- with 1961 being the last time in MLB history multiple players failed to reach that mark.

Homers, steals two bases Berti went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's 10-3 win over the Cubs.
Impact Berti's solo shot in the fourth inning was just his fourth long ball of the year and first this month. He's now swiped 36 bags in 40 attempts, extending his MLB lead. The veteran infielder was trapped in an 0-for-16 slump before Monday's big day. Berti improved his season slash line to .249/.335/.351 with 21 extra-base hits and 43 runs scored through 88 games.
