Conforto is out of the lineup Thursday against the Rockies, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deployment of Conforto this season has been maddening for his fantasy owners, as he was initially given little opportunity to face lefties (despite mashing against them in the minors), then he was optioned to Triple-A and now he is seeing part-time duty in center field because Yoenis Cespedes' quad issues limit his mobility out there so he has been shifted to left field. Conforto is a natural corner outfielder, so he, like Cespedes, is out of his element in center field, which is why the Juan Lagares has been getting about half the starts in center since the Mets shifted their outfield deployment. Conforto would be appealing in all formats if he were allowed to play every day, but that won't happen anytime soon on this current Mets roster.
