Conforto is considered day-to-day after leaving Tuesday's game with a bruise on his left heel, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto went 2-for-4 with an RBI before leaving the contest. The outfielder was replaced by Bryce Johnson. The day-to-day designation gives Conforto a chance to return to the lineup shortly, but the Giants will want to make sure he's good to go to keep one of their best hitters healthy over the summer months.

Conforto is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has slashed a sizzling .423/.484/.808 with four extra-base hits and a stolen base while starting in each of the Giants' last seven games, but he'll still be subject to occasional off days when San Francisco faces lefty pitchers. He'll give way in right field to Mitch Haniger while southpaw Rich Hill takes the mound for Pittsburgh in the series opener.

Conforto went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Conforto's sixth multi-hit effort in his last 12 games, a span in which he's hitting .396 (19-for-48) with six homers and 13 RBI. The outfielder's remarkable two-week surge has lifted his batting average from .168 to .239 and his OPS from .622 to .810. He's up to 11 homers, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored and two steals through 45 contests, and he's cemented a near-everyday role in right field.

Conforto went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and two more runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto notched his first hit of the evening with a double in the sixth and came around to score. He stepped back up to the plate in the seventh and sent a breaking ball over the wall in left to put the Giants up 4-3. The 30-year-old now has six home runs over his last 12 games and leads the Giants overall with 10 homers on the year. Conforto hit 88 long balls from 2017-2019 and seems well on his way to surpassing 30 home runs this year if he can stay healthy. He's now slashing .219/.324/.445 with 24 RBI, 27 runs and a 21:46 BB:K over 170 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Conforto got the key hit in a big first inning against Bailey Ober, swatting a three-run homer that ultimately accounted for the winning margin. The long ball was a nice rebound after Conforto struck out in all four of his at-bats against Miami in his previous game. The right fielder has nine homers on the campaign, with five of them coming in his past 11 contests.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto's gone 10-for-19 with three home runs during his five-game hitting streak. With Mike Yastrzemski recently returning from the injured list, Conforto's hot stretch should help him solidify his spot in the lineup. The 30-year-old is up to a .222/.338/.429 slash line with eight homers, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base through 38 games.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto had the biggest hit in a six-run second inning, as he popped a first-pitch fastball for a three-run shot. After missing all of 2022 due to shoulder surgery, Conforto has come back and produced. His batting average is a paltry .205, but his OPS is slightly higher than his 2021 number. That is thanks to some improved pop, as he is slugging .418.
