Conforto was scratched from Monday's contest against the Cubs due to back stiffness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally thought that Conforto was simply getting the day off, but it now appears he's getting the day to rest his ailing back. It doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, as the Mets think he'll be able to pinch hit Monday, so consider him day-to-day for the time being.
