Jon Berti: Cut by Cubs
The Cubs released Berti on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old was pushed off Chicago's 40-man roster when the team activated Miguel Amaya (ankle) and Javier Assad on Tuesday. Berti will now be forced to look elsewhere for his next opportunity, and he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal after slashing .210/.262/.230 in 107 plate appearances with the Cubs this season.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Booted from 40-man roster
The Cubs designated Berti for assignment Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The Cubs needed to clear 40-man roster spots ahead of activating both Miguel Amaya (oblique) and Javier Assad (oblique) from the 60-day IL on Tuesday. Berti has slashed .210/.262/.230 with two doubles, two RBI, 12 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a 5:22 BB:K across 107 plate appearances this season.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Drawing rare start Sunday
Berti will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Berti will enter the lineup for just the second time since rookie Matt Shaw was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in mid-May. Shaw has posted a .655 OPS since his call-up, which has been good enough to keep Berti on the bench.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Time as primary 3B over
Berti remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Berti had already been left out of the lineup in the Cubs' previous two contests, but the promotion of prospect Matt Shaw from Triple-A Iowa on Monday erases any doubt that Berti's time as Chicago's primary third baseman is over. The 35-year-old has produced a .213/.272/.240 slash line over 81 plate appearances on the season and has provided most of his limited fantasy utility on the bases (seven steals in eight attempts) rather than with the bat. He was miscast as an everyday player but should bring value off the bench as a pinch runner and late-inning defensive replacement.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Sitting out Saturday
Berti isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Berti has gone 0-for-16 with six strikeouts across his last five games. He'll get a chance to regroup Saturday while Vidal Brujan starts at third base and bats ninth.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Idle Tuesday
Berti is not in the Cubs' lineup against the Marlins on Tuesday.
Berti has been sitting for roughly one game per series since April 27. He will likely start in Wednesday's rubber match after playing in Monday's 5-2 victory over Miami. Nicky Lopez will start at third base and bat ninth with Berti on the bench.

Cubs' Jon Berti: On bench for series opener
Berti is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.
Nicky Lopez will get the start at the hot corner and will bat ninth while Berti heads to the bench for the series opener. Berti has been serving as the Cubs' primary starter at third base since mid-April, but he's viewed as more of a stopgap solution and is expected to eventually transition into more of a utility role once prospect Matt Shaw is deemed ready to return from Triple-A Iowa.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Sitting Friday
Berti isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.
Berti will get a chance to catch his breath after going 8-for-17 with an RBI and four runs scored over his last five games. His absence will open up a spot at third base for Nicky Lopez to start and bat ninth.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Idle Thursday
Berti is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Since Matt Shaw was demoted to Triple-A Iowa on April 15, Berti has stepped in as the Cubs' primary third baseman, drawing starts at the position in eight of the past 11 games. After going 7-for-15 with a pair of doubles and a walk over his last four starts, Berti should still be secure atop the depth chart, but he'll give way to Nicky Lopez at the hot corner for a day game after a night game.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Tallies three more hits Saturday
Berti went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.
After collecting two hits Friday, Berti tallied three singles Saturday to raise his season batting average to an even .300. The veteran utility player doesn't offer a ton of power, but he's seeing the ball well at the moment and has good speed with seven stolen bases in seven attempts this year.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Two hits in Friday's win
Berti went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.
Berti has emerged as Chicago's primary third baseman following the demotion of Matt Shaw, and he's provided decent production with a .250 average for the season. The veteran's greatest asset is his speed, as he has seven stolen bases in seven attempts, and he could run more often now that his playing time has increased.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Emerging as main third baseman
Berti will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Berti will occupy third base for the third time in four games and looks to have at least temporarily emerged as the Cubs' preferred option at the position following the April 15 demotion of Matt Shaw. Rule 5 pick Gage Workman had previously represented Berti's top competition for playing time, but the Cubs designated Workman for assignment Wednesday and brought in veteran utility infielder Nicky Lopez in on a one-year deal in a corresponding move. Berti thus may have some work to do in order to build up job security, especially while he's maintained an underwhelming .250/.344/.250 slash line through his first 14 games of the season.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Starting Saturday
Berti is starting at third base and batting ninth in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Berti will be making just his sixth start of the season in Chicago's 23rd game. The 35-year-old has been used mostly as a bench player for the Cubs, and he's batting .238 with a .598 OPS and no home runs or runs scored, giving him limited fantasy appeal despite the six stolen bases.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Drawing start at third base
Berti will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Padres.
Gage Workman drew the first start at the hot corner Tuesday following the demotion of Matt Shaw, but it will be Berti getting the call Wednesday against right-hander Nick Pivetta. Cubs manager Craig Counsell will likely mix and match at third base until someone emerges.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Back to bench role
Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Berti made a pair of starts at second base in the Cubs' season-opening series in Tokyo versus the Dodgers on March 18 and 19, but he's since shifted back to a utility role with Nico Hoerner (forearm) completing his recovery from flexor tendon surgery. The Cubs gave Hoerner an off day in Saturday's 4-3 win, which allowed Berti to pick up his lone start of the four-game series in Arizona.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Collects three hits, steal
Berti went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers in Tokyo.
The 35-year-old started the first two games of the season at second base with Nico Hoerner (forearm) unavailable. Chicago didn't provide much offense during the two-game set in Japan, but Berti was able to reach base four times and steal a pair of bases. He's expected to fill a utility role once Hoerner is healthy.

Cubs' Jon Berti: Could be temporary starter
With Nico Hoerner (forearm) set to miss the Cubs' two-game, season-opening series in Tokyo, Berti is an option to slide in as the starter at second base, Jesse Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The Cubs will face the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, and with Hoerner still recovering from flexor tendon surgery, the team won't rush him back for the quick set. Berti and Vidal Brujan could see time at second in the meantime, though Hoerner could be ready to go later in the month, which would push both players back to bench roles.
