Berti was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti was removed from Thursday's game against the Pirates with what was described as a mild groin strain, but the issue will still force him to spend time on the injured list. The 32-year-old won't be eligible to return until at least July 25, and it's possible that he'll see a slight decrease in playing time upon his return since Jorge Soler (pelvis) was reinstated from the IL on Friday.

Rojas (mouth) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Friday against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Rojas was removed from Thursday's contest versus the Pirates after he lost a tooth on a collision with Oneil Cruz in the ninth inning, but he'll be ready to go Friday after undergoing a dental procedure. The shortstop has produced a .262 average with four runs, an RBI and two stolen bases over 42 at-bats in July.

Tovar (groin) won't be available for Saturday's All-Star Futures Game, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

The Rockies' top prospect remains on Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list while he continues to recover from a groin injury that has kept him out of action since June 29. The organization is hoping the 20-year-old infielder will be ready to play again shortly after the All-Star break.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

The shortstop took Anibal Sanchez deep in the first inning during a game in which Atlanta never trailed. Swanson is slashing .300/.333/.483 through 14 games in July, and with 15 homers and 14 steals through 91 contests on the season, he's on track for his first career 25/25 campaign.

Adames went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants.

Adames got aboard on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on a wild pitch and stole third in the first inning. The shortstop has hit safely in eight of 12 games in July, going 11-for-49 (.224) with three home runs and two steals in that span. For the season, he's slashing .214/.287/.470 with 18 homers, 50 RBI, 46 runs scored, three steals and 14 doubles. While his average is nothing special, he's on pace for a career year in the counting stats.

Rojas was removed midway through the top of the ninth inning of Thursday's game against the Pirates after suffering an apparent mouth injury in a collision at second base with Oneil Cruz, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-4 with a base hit prior to departing.

While he was sliding into second base on a stolen-base attempt, Cruz's helmet struck Rojas in the face. Though Rojas applied the tag for the out, he exited the contest immediately, forcing the Marlins to reshuffle their infield after second baseman Jon Berti (groin) had already exited earlier in the contest. Rojas could be sent in for concussion testing before the Marlins determine his status for their three-game series with the Phillies this weekend.

Berti exited Thursday's game against the Pirates due to a mild left groin strain, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti was removed from Thursday's matchup prior to the second inning after he sustained the groin injury while sliding into second base on a successful steal. It's encouraging the 32-year-old's injury is being classified as mild, and he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener against the Phillies.

Berti was removed ahead of the second inning of Thursday's game against the Pirates with an apparent injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti walked in his lone plate appearance in the bottom of the first inning and proceeded to record his MLB-leading 28th stolen base, but it came at the price of an injury. De Nicola notes that Berti appeared to suffer the injury in question while sliding into second base, though he stayed in the game for the remainder of the inning before he was replaced by Joey Wendle in the field for the top of the second. The Marlins should provide an update on the nature of Berti's injury later Thursday.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

His third-inning blast off Charlie Morton gave the Mets a 4-0 lead and proved to be the game-winning hit. Lindor has hit safely in seven straight games and gone yard in three of the last six, boosting his slash line on the year to .244/.317/.433 with 16 homers, nine steals, 52 runs and 64 RBI through 88 contests.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle will get a breather after he picked up starts out of the middle infield in each of the past four contests while going 3-for-13 with an RBI. Miguel Rojas will be back in the lineup after a one-game rest to start at shortstop Thursday, while Jon Berti occupies the keystone.
