Berti went 3-for-5 with one run scored, one RBI, a double, a triple and two stolen bases in Saturday's loss at Tampa Bay.

Berti batted second and started at third base Saturday and played a pivotal role in the Miami offense. The 29-year-old was activated off the injured list Wednesday and is 6-for-13 with three runs scored and two RBI in his first three games off the shelf.

Garcia exited Saturday's game at High-A Daytona with a right shoulder injury, Tortugas broadcaster Justin Rocke reports.

Garcia sustained the injury sliding into second base and the opposing second baseman fell on him. Per Rocke, the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern and Garcia should be considered day-to-day.

Fletcher will lead off and play shortstop Saturday against the Indians.

Fletcher was originally stationed on the bench, but he was a late addition to the lineup in place of Andrelton Simmons (undisclosed).

Baez went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in a 4-1 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.

Baez scored the first run for the Cubs and later drove in an eighth-inning insurance run. The 26-year-old also struck out for a league-leading 132nd time, but the strikeouts haven't dampened his production. Baez has 26 homers and 73 RBI and sports a .289/.320/.552 slash line with nine steals in 440 at-bats this season.

Mondesi (shoulder) recently progressed to hitting off a tee, but his return timetable is still up in the air, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. "He's making progress, but it's probably, realistically going to be a while," manager Ned Yost said earlier this week. "You definitely want him back before the year's out. You want to make sure, going into next year, that he's all right. He's working diligently. I don't know. I'm hoping."

Not long after his return from a groin injury, Mondesi landed back on the injured list after suffering a left shoulder subluxation July 16. Fantasy owners were hoping for a relatively quick turnaround, but the quotes from Yost don't inspire much confidence. Despite all the missed time, Mondesi still leads the majors in stolen bases with 31 in 35 attempts.

Fletcher is not in Saturday's lineup against the Indians.

He is hitting .262/.340/.333 with zero home runs and two steals in 42 at-bats over his last 10 games. Luis Rengifo will start at second base and lead off.

Rojas (hip) will play shortstop and bat leadoff Saturday against the Rays.

Rojas left Thursday's game against the Twins with hip tightness, but he's ready to go following Friday's scheduled day off. He'll look to continue his nine-game hitting streak, a stretch in which he's hitting .387/.406/.677.

Story went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

Story took Giants starter Shaun Anderson deep in the third inning, giving the Rockies a 2-0 lead at the time. The slugging shortstop has 23 homers, 59 RBI and 78 runs scored in 97 games this season while owning a .280/.344/.545 line.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Friday's performance was the first multi-hit game for the infielder since his return from a hamstring injury July 22. Diaz is up to seven homers, 27 RBI and 21 runs scored in 38 games this season. It's expected the 29-year-old will fill a utility role while the Astros' lineup is at full strength.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

Correa did his damage in the fifth inning, taking Mariners reliever Reggie McClain deep to extend the Astros' lead to 8-0 at the time. The shortstop is up to 14 homers, 43 RBI and 30 runs scored in 57 games this season while producing a .285/.350/.542 line.
