Jon Berti To Receive Injection After Suffering Setback
4 months agoNew York Yankees infielder Jon Berti (calf) had a "minor" setback with his calf, according to manager Aaron Boone, and will get a platelet-rich plasma injection on Saturday. Berti was in line to play in minor-league rehab games this weekend, but that has now been put on hold after his setback. He has been out since late May with his calf injury but could still return before the end of July if he's able to start a rehab assignment sooner than later. The 34-year-old infielder will only be worth consideration in AL-only leagues for his speed as a utility infielder for the Yankees when he returns to the majors. Berti led the league in 2022 with 41 stolen bases with the Miami Marlins and was hitting .273 (15-for-55) in 17 games for the Yanks before his injury, but it came with only one homer, six RBI and four steals.
