Conforto is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

He will find himself on the bench against right-hander Justin Verlander, even with the DH available in an American League park. Conforto finished July on an 0-for-13 slide and is 3-for-13 to begin August, so while he figures to continue seeing semi-regular starts with Yoenis Cespedes (quad) on the DL, Brandon Nimmo may eat further into Conforto's at-bats.
