Conforto went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder staked the Mets to a 5-0 lead with his first-inning blast. Conforto's multi-hit effort was his first since June 23, and he's just 7-for-50 (.140) since he returned from a hamstring injury on that day. Overall, the 28-year-old has a poor .202/.345/.301 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI and 16runs scored through 200 plate appearances. He's still seen the bulk of the playing time in right field over Kevin Pillar and Billy McKinney lately.

Conforto is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder recorded two hits in his first game back from the injured list but has gone 3-for-41 with 17 strikeouts in 15 games since. Kevin Pillar will get the start in right field, with Conforto presumably getting some action in the night game Saturday.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Seeing his first game action since May 16, Conforto hit third for the Mets and appeared fully recovered from the hamstring injury that had sidelined him. The next step for the 28-year-old will be finding his power stroke -- through 35 games on the year, Conforto has only two homers and what would be a career-low .350 SLG.

Mets manager Luis Rojas confirmed that Conforto (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto had been scheduled to return to the lineup Tuesday, but the Mets opted to delay his reinstatement by a day as a precaution since he was recently rehabbing at Triple-A Syracuse, which has dealt with COVID-19-related contact-tracing concerns in recent days. The 28-year-old has passed all subsequent testing for the virus, so the Mets will likely immediately reinstall him as their everyday right fielder Wednesday. Conforto's return will presumably spell an end to Billy McKinney's time as a regular in the New York outfield.

Conforto (hamstring) was not activated for Tuesday's game against Atlanta out of an abundance of caution due to a COVID-19 situation at Triple-A Syracuse, but he tested negative for the virus and is expected to be reinstated Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Syracuse had Tuesday's game postponed due to the health and safety protocols, and Conforto's activation was held back a day since he just completed a rehab assignment there over the weekend. The 28-year-old is apparently in the clear and is poised to return to action for Wednesday's series finale versus Atlanta after missing the past five weeks with a strained right hamstring.

Conforto (hamstring) wasn't activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
GM Zack Scott said earlier in the day Conforto would be reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, but the transaction wasn't included in a flurry of roster moves announced about an hour before the 7:10 ET start time. The team hasn't provided any clarity to the situation, so it's unclear when the 28-year-old is now expected back. Triple-A Syracuse -- where Conforto was recently on a rehab assignment -- had Tuesday's game postponed due to COVID-19 healthy and safety protocols, so it's possible the outfielder is caught up in contact tracing.

Conforto (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has been out since mid-May with a right hamstring strain. He struggled at the plate through 34 games prior to the injury, hitting .230/.356/.336, but he's considered good to go after going 2-for-11 in three rehab appearances. He's slightly ahead of the schedule he appeared to be on earlier in the month, when he was reportedly tracking towards a return over the final weekend of June.
