• Yankees' Jon Berti: Battling hip injury

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Berti was left off the Yankees' World Series roster due to a right hip flexor injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The Yankees skipper noted that Berti's injury occurred while he was running the bases in Game 4 of the ALCS, and he would have been part of the roster had he not gotten hurt. Because of the utility man's absence, Nestor Cortes (elbow) will rejoin New York's roster to provide additional pitching depth for the World Series.

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

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

  09/22/2024 • By RotoWire

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