San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto is not in his team's lineup against the San Diego Padres on Monday. Conforto will take the night off against tough southpaw Blake Snell as the Giants open up their final homestand of the season. The Giants will tab Heliot Ramos to take Conforto's place in the outfield. Look for Conforto to return to the lineup on Tuesday.
The San Francisco Giants officially activated outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned rookie infielder Casey Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Manager Gabe Kapler said on Thursday that he was prepared to have Conforto serve as the team's designated hitter against the Colorado Rockies before that game was postponed due to rain, so Conforto should be in the starting lineup on Friday night at hitter-friendly Coors Field against Rockies right-hander Chase Anderson. The 30-year-old Conforto is back with San Fran after missing three weeks with a strained left hamstring. He has 15 home runs and 55 RBI in 370 at-bats this year and will be a sneaky DFS play at Coors Field against a pitcher that likes to give up homers.
San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said he had outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) in the starting lineup on Thursday as the designated hitter against the Colorado Rockies before the game was rained out, so it appears likely that Conforto will be activated from the injured list and play on Friday against the Rockies at Coors Field. Conforto will be returning after missing three weeks with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger has played in 111 games in his first year in the Bay Area with the Gigantes in 2023, slashing .251/.343/.405 with 15 home runs, 12 doubles, 55 RBI, four stolen bases and 55 runs scored in 426 plate appearances. The Giants are hoping that his return will help the team secure the final wild-card spot in the National League down the stretch.

Following his 2019 breakout, Mets outfielder Michael Conforto delivered another impressive campaign in 2020, despite the small sample size. In 2020, Conforto posted a .322/.412/.927 line with a career-high .927 OPS, nine home runs, and 31 RBI in 202 at-bats. Similar to 2019, most of Conforto's metrics supported his performance, making a repeat in 2021 likely. In 2020, he generated a .284 xBA, a .475 xSLG, and a wOBA of .395 which was in the top six percent of MLB. Although Conforto saw a dip in overall launch angle and exit velocity compared to 2019, the percentage of 100 mph fly balls he hit increased by almost two percent in 2020. In addition, the average exit velocity on his top-5% hardest-hit balls in the air increased by over one mph in 2020. This, combined with an 11% barrel rate in 2020, suggests he will maintain his power production in 2021. Hitting in the middle of an even more potent Mets' lineup which now includes Francisco Lindor, Conforto will again have plenty of counting stat opportunities. With a current ADP of 76, managers should confidently draft Conforto as a second OF who can provide 30 home runs, 90-100 RBI, with some slight batting average regression. When healthy, Conforto is one of the Mets' most consistent offensive producers. 2021 will be no different.
