Jon Berti Returns Against Phillies
2 years agoMiami Marlins second baseman Jon Berti (hip) is back at second base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. Berti missed almost a full week with a hip injury, but he'll return to face the Phils on Tuesday. The 32-year-old has mostly been useful in fantasy for his speed, as he leads baseball with 32 stolen bases in 75 games played this year. Overall, he's slashing .259/.349/.365 with only three home runs, 21 RBI and 35 runs scored in 292 plate appearances. His fantasy managers will be hoping he can finish the season strong after he hit just .222 (14-for-63) with a homer, two RBI, three runs scored, four steals and 16 strikeouts in 17 games in August.
