    Jon Berti: Let go by Yankees

    The Yankees non-tendered Jon Berti on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.Berti appeared in 25 games for the Yankees during the regular season, slashing .273/.342/.318 with six RBI over 74 plate appearances. The 34-year-old's defensive versatility and ability to reach base at a high rate should earn him some attention in free agency, though a full-time starting role is unlikely.

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Brought back from IL

    The New York Yankees reinstated Jon Berti (calf) from the 60-day injured list Monday.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.

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Won't return Sunday

    Jon Berti (calf) will continue his rehab stint through the weekend and "a handful of days" into next week according to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.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 its roster expansion, but it appears the 34-year-old won't be back with the big club until at least the end of next week.

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Homers in first rehab game

    Jon Berti (calf) went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run for Double-A Somerset in a rehab game Saturday.In his first game action since suffering a calf strain 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 New York Yankees, Berti is likely to fill a utility role that probably won't include everyday at-bats.

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Starting up rehab assignment Friday

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