Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in a 5-2 win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto scored San Francisco's first run after singling in the second inning, and he accounted for the team's final tally with a solo shot to right field in the sixth. The performance snapped a nine-game stretch during which the veteran batted just .171 and failed to register a multi-hit effort. Despite that cold snap, Conforto has started the season well, posting a .271/.311/.506 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs through 90 plate appearances.

Conforto is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Trevor Rogers will take the hill for the Marlins, so the left-handed-hitting Conforto will get a day off. Tyler Fitzgerald will get the start in left field for the Giants.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has gone 4-for-20 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and four strikeouts over five games since he recovered from a minor side issue. He's retained a starting role in left field despite the cooldown after a strong start to the campaign. The veteran outfielder is slashing .298/.355/.596 with four homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and five doubles through 62 plate appearances. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt of the year so far.

Conforto is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was not in Monday's lineup due to a minor side issue. As a likely precaution, the outfielder did not start and did not come off the bench. As expected, he returns to the lineup in left field and batting cleanup.

Conforto isn't in Monday's lineup against the Nationals due to a minor side issue, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants are likely holding Conforto out of the lineup as a precaution, and Slusser notes that Conforto could be available to pinch hit Monday if needed. The club expects its starting left fielder to be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's clash.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto knocked in the Giants' first run with an RBI double in the first inning. The outfielder has been held hitless in just one of eight games so far, which has helped him stake his claim to a starting job in left field. He's batting .419 with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored across 33 plate appearances. Conforto's strong hitting out of the gate has seen him move up to the cleanup spot over the last three games.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Dodgers in Monday's loss.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto had the only extra-base hit of the game for San Francisco, belting a solo homer to right field in the sixth inning. The veteran outfielder has started his second season in San Francisco well, reaching base in each of the team's five games to date and homering three times over that span. Conforto averaged a modest 14.5 long balls over the past two campaigns, but he's well on pace to exceed that given his hot start so far.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double and a grand slam in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto's second career grand slam broke the game open in the eighth inning. Left-handed reliever Tom Cosgrove surrendered the home run to Conforto, who had just a .598 OPS and 29:3 K:BB against lefties last season. The outfielder has already popped two home runs in his team's first three games.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Thursday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto tagged closer Robert Suarez for a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning and fell one triple shy of an Opening Day cycle. Tabbed as the Giants' everyday left fielder, Conforto should have ample opportunity to make fantasy contributions after slashing .239/.334/.384 with 58 runs scored and 58 RBI in 2023.

Conforto is expected to handle an everyday role in left field, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to the Jorge Soler signing, Conforto was projected as the designated hitter, but that has changed. It's still early in spring training, and there's a chance another outfielder could infringe on Conforto's role, namely Luis Matos. Blake Sabol also played some left field in 2023, but for now, it's Conforto's job to lose.
