Yankees place Berti on the injured list with a left calf strain and select Smith from Triple-A

The New York Yankees placed infielder Jon Berti on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain one day after he collapsed in pain just a few steps out of the batter’s box

Hits injured list with calf strain The Yankees placed Berti on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain.

Impact 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.

On bench in second straight Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Berti finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row after he had started at third base in each of the preceding three games while going 3-for-9 with a home run and two walks. While he might not have eclipsed Oswaldo Cabrera on the depth chart just yet, Berti has been poaching more work of late from Cabrera, who has mustered an underwhelming .626 OPS since the beginning of May. Both Berti and Cabrera will likely see their playing time suffer when DJ LeMahieu (foot) -- who is currently in the midst of a rehab assignment -- likely returns from the 10-day injured list next week.

Resumes activity Berti (groin) has resumed hitting in the cage and is also taking part in defensive work and a running progression, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact A left groin strain has kept Berti on the injured list since last Saturday, though it appears the 34-year-old has made some progress in his recovery. The goal is for him to begin a rehab assignment sometime next week, though it's unclear how many games he will play in the minors before rejoining the active roster.

Joins lineup Sunday Berti was a late addition to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, and he's starting at third base and batting seventh.

Impact Berti was expected to start Saturday before ultimately being excluded from the lineup, but the reverse happened Sunday as he was initially absent from the starting nine. The 34-year-old will make his first start with the Yankees since Anthony Volpe was a late scratch due to an illness.

On bench after late arrival Berti is not in the lineup for Thursday's opener in Houston, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The new acquisition's plane didn't arrive in Houston until 2 AM, so Yankees manager Aaron Boone elected to start Oswaldo Cabrera over Berti at third base. Both players should see at-bats at the hot corner until DJ LeMahieu (foot) is ready.

Traded to Yankees The Yankees acquired Berti from the Marlins on Wednesday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact There's no word yet on what the Marlins will be receiving in return. Berti provides the Yankees with some protection on their infield with both DJ LeMahieu (foot) and Oswald Peraza (shoulder) sidelined, and he's capable of handling the outfield, as well. He could get some starts at third base early on in the season while LeMahieu is out.

MARCH 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Club option exercised The Marlins exercised Berti's $3.625 million option for 2024, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Berti will stick around after slashing .294/.344/.405 with seven homers and 16 steals over 133 games this season. The 33-year-old utility player offers the Marlins plenty of versatility, but they'll likely be hoping they won't need to use him as often in 2024 as they had to in 2023.

At shortstop again in Game 2 Berti will again start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Phillies.

Impact Berti started at short in Game 1 on Tuesday and went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in what was a 4-1 loss, but the Marlins will continue to roll with the 33-year-old speedster with Garrett Hampson and Joey Wendle again riding the pine.

Starts at shortstop in Game 1 Berti is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Phillies.

Impact Garrett Hampson drew the majority of starts at shortstop in the closing weeks of the 2023 regular season, but the Marlins will ride the hot hand with Berti after he slashed .500/.609/.944 with four homers and two steals across his final 46 plate appearances. Hampson is on the bench in Game 1, with Luis Arraez (ankle) returning at second base and Jake Burger manning third base. Joey Wendle will also ride the pine.

Hits for cycle across twin bill Berti went 5-for-7 with two walks, a double, a triple, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Mets.

Impact After getting the start at second base in the matinee and going 3-for-4 with his double and triple, Berti moved over the third base in the nightcap and completed his pseudo-cycle by leading off the game with his seventh homer of the year against Kodai Senga. Berti has reeled off five multi-hit performances in his last six starts as part of an eight-game hitting streak, and the veteran utility player is batting .583 (14-for-24) over that blistering stretch with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four home runs), two steals, six runs and six RBI. The Marlins are currently tied for the final wild-card spot in the NL, and should they make the postseason, Berti's September could become the stuff of legend in Miami.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Crushes two homers Berti went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Berti opened the game's scoring with a 428-foot solo shot off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. However, the 33-year-old utility man wasn't finished as he cracked another homer, this time a 411-foot, two-run one, in the eighth inning. Berti appears to have laid claim to a bigger role as he has started four of the last five games, including the past two at shortstop. He is slashing .286/.327/.386 with six homers, 15 steals, 49 runs and 32 RBI over 127 games this season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • Associated Press

Hits solo shot off bench Berti went 2-for-2 with a home run, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 16-1 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Berti came off the bench in the blowout and provided the only run of the night for the Marlins with an eighth-inning solo shot off right-hander Bryse Wilson. The 33-year-old speedster now has four home runs in 125 games (390 plate appearances) this season with Miami.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Thursday Berti remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Berti has started only one of the Marlins' last seven games as he firmly settles back into a bench role. The 33-year-old is at 13 stolen bases this year after swiping an NL-high 41 bags in 2022.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Thursday Berti is not in the lineup Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Joey Wendle will get a second consecutive start at shortstop as the Marlins face another right-hander in Joan Adon. Berti has out-produced Wendle on the whole this year, but the veteran speedster carries a weak .255/.294/.319 season slash line versus righties.
