Conforto went 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto entered Friday 0-for-16 across his last five games, but he busted out of the slump in a big way. It was his third multi-hit effort in June, and he's hitting just .200 for the month after looking like one of the Giants' best players in late May. For the season, the outfielder has a .237/.330/.421 slash line with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 39 runs scored, six doubles and two stolen bases through 67 contests. With the absences of Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) and Mitch Haniger (forearm), Conforto should continue to have a clear path to a near-everyday role in the corner outfield.

EDGE Analysis
Conforto will take a seat after he went 4-for-6 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-3 victory. Mike Yastrzemski will slide over to right field while Luis Matos makes his MLB debut in center field and bats second versus the Cardinals.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto jump-started the Giants' comeback, smacking a two-run shot off Chase Anderson in the sixth inning to cut the deficit to 4-3. After getting off to a slow start, the 30-year-old Conforto has been red hot since early May, batting .359 with eight homers and a 1.110 OPS in his last 22 games. He's now slashing .251/.352/.469 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 34 runs scored through 210 plate appearances this season.

Conforto went 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was out for a week while dealing with a bruised left heel. He played six innings before Austin Slater entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh in a blowout contest. Conforto hit .373 with seven home runs over his last 18 games in May prior to the injury. The outfielder is at a .250/.348/.459 slash line with 11 homers, 29 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases through 51 contests overall. Fantasy managers will hope he can pick up where he left off.

Conforto (heel) is not in the starting lineup for the Giants on Sunday versus the Orioles, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was able to appear off the bench against Baltimore on Friday, but he hasn't been able to start since leaving Tuesday's game against the Pirates with a bruise on his left heel. Mitch Haniger gets the start in right field again with Blake Sabol lining up in left field while Conforto recovers.

Conforto (heel) isn't in San Francisco's lineup Saturday against the Orioles, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto's bruised left heel will keep him out of the lineup for the third straight game, though he was able to pinch hit during Friday's contest. His absence will shift Mitch Haniger into right field, Blake Sabol into left and Wilmer Flores in as San Francisco's designated hitter.

Conforto (heel) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto will miss a second game in a row after he injured his heel Tuesday against the Pirates. The MRI on his foot back clean, so the outfielder should return to the lineup in the near future. Mike Yastrzemski will slide over to right field while Brett Wisely enters the lineup in center field and bats ninth in the series opener with Baltimore.

Conforto is considered day-to-day with a bruised left heel after medical imaging came back clean Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was sent for both X-rays and an MRI after experiencing discomfort in his heel during Tuesday night's game against the Pirates. He was held out of action Wednesday afternoon but will presumably be able to return at some point during the Giants' three-game weekend series versus the Orioles. San Francisco has a much-needed scheduled team day off Thursday.

Conforto, who is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, will undergo an MRI and X-ray on his injured left heel, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants expressed optimism that Conforto was dealing with only a minor concern after he injured his heel in Tuesday's 2-1 loss, but the team now seems to be more worried about his situation. Conforto was spotted walking around with a noticeable limp in the clubhouse prior to Wednesday's contest. A trip to the injured list would be terrible timing for the veteran outfielder, who has been scorching hot with a 1.138 OPS and seven home runs over his last 18 games.
