Conforto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto's playing time has been on the rise lately. He's driven in six runs over his last four games while going 6-for-13 with two homers in that span. The outfielder's improved hitting has put pressure on Jerar Encarnacion for playing time at designated hitter versus right-handed pitchers. Conforto's season has been a mixed bag -- his 18 homers are his most since 2019, but he's slashing just .234/.308/.441 with 62 RBI, 51 runs scored, 25 doubles and three triples over 123 games.
