Conforto (hamstring) was not activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday but could return any day now, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has been ramping up workouts, including running the bases Friday. The Giants decided against bringing him back prior to Saturday's game versus the Rockies, but it looks like Conforto will skip a rehab assignment and his return is imminent. He's been sidelined since late August with a strained hamstring.

Conforto (hamstring) ran the bases without issue Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has also been taking daily rounds of on-field batting practice as he nears a return from the Grade 2 left hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list Aug. 25. He could be allowed to skip a minor-league rehab assignment if all of the side work continues to go smoothly.

Conforto (hamstring) took on-field batting practice Tuesday and said he's running at close to 85 percent, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto landed on the injured list Aug. 25 with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, but he has made a swift recovery so far and could return to the NL Wild Card-hunting Giants at some point in mid-September. When healthy this season, the 30-year-old outfielder has registered a .748 OPS with 15 homers and 55 RBI across 111 games.

Conforto has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder suffered the injury Wednesday in Philadelphia and was placed on the injured list earlier Friday. It's a moderate strain, which means Conforto is looking at longer than a minimum stay on the IL. Luis Matos is getting the start in right field Friday versus Atlanta and Heliot Ramos will fill Conforto's spot on the roster.

Southpaw Max Fried will be on the mound Sunday for Atlanta, so Conforto will receive a day off despite his .300/.407/.460 slash line in August. Heliot Ramos will start in right field and bat sixth in the series finale.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
This was Conforto's fourth straight multi-hit game, and he's supplied an extra-base hit in three of them. The outfielder's surge has him batting .325 in August compared to .251 for the season. Overall, he's at a .758 OPS with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs scored, four stolen bases and 12 doubles through 104 contests. As long as his bat is hot, he should maintain a spot in the starting lineup -- he's most often been in right field lately.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Conforto's second straight game with a homer and also his second two-hit game of the weekend. The outfielder has come around at the plate a bit lately, batting .277 (13-for-47) with four extra-base hits over his last 15 games. He's maintained steady playing time despite his recent slump, though he could be impacted by the impending return of Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) from the injured list.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has sputtered at the plate recently, going 6-for-30 (.200) with two extra-base hits and six walks over his last 10 games. His homer Saturday was his first since July 8. The outfielder is at a .238/.332/.394 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs scored and four stolen bases through 101 contests, though his relatively punchless hitting of late has nullified his stronger play from earlier in the year.

Conforto is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
A likely trade chip for the Giants, Conforto has slumped to a .230/.288/.295 batting line over his last 66 plate appearances dating back to June 27. Joc Pederson, Luis Matos and Austin Slater will start across the outfield Tuesday.
