Jon Berti Resumes Baseball Activities
2 years agoMiami Marlins infielder Jon Berti (groin) is hitting in the batting cages and increasing running activities as he rehabs in Jupiter, Fla. Berti was placed on the injured list after straining his left groin during a stolen base on July 14. The 32-year-old will likely need to go on a minor league rehab assignment before returning to the Marlins, but it's encouraging that he's doing baseball activities already. Before his injury, he had earned regular playing time at the keystone for the Fish by hitting .271/.365/.375 with two home runs, 19 RBI, 32 runs scored and a league-leading 28 stolen bases in 222 plate appearances over 58 games. Joey Wendle should continue to handle the vast majority of starts at second base with Berti out.
