Conforto will likely get some starts in center field in the coming days, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.

EDGE Analysis

This seemed inevitable, given the fact that the Mets' best four outfielders are all naturally corner guys, so they will have to sacrifice defense at times in order to get their best hitters as many at-bats as possible. Conforto might be the team's second best offensive outfielder in terms of pure talent (behind Yoenis Cespedes), but it's really hard to project how much playing time he will see while Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce remain in the fold.
