Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets were already down 5-0 when Conforto went yard off Joe Ross, in part because of his own shaky defense in right field. The 28-year-old needed 16 games to connect on his first homer of the year, but he seems to have shaken off his early-season slump, going 8-for-27 (.296) over his last eight games.

Conforto had X-rays come back negative on his right wrist after being hit by a pitch during Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The X-rays explain the 28-year-old's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's nightcap, but it appears he avoided any series issues from the hit by pitch. Conforto is back on the bench for Game 2 and should be considered day-to-day.

Conforto is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old went 0-for-2 with a walk during the Game 1 loss, and he's now 0-for-13 across the past four games. Kevin Pillar will start in right field during the nightcap in place of Conforto.

Conforto will start in right field and bat sixth Monday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Luis Rojas initially moved Conforto down from third to sixth in the order for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, but the outfielder didn't get a chance to hit in the contest after it was suspended due to rain. The skipper won't deviate from Sunday's lineup, as Conforto will swap spots with Dominic Smith while looking to shake off some early-season rust. Over the Mets' first five contests, Conforto went 3-for-21 with eight strikeouts.

Conforto has gone 6-for-21 (.286) through eight Grapefruit League games this spring, but all six hits have been singles.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old also has a 1:5 BB:K. Conforto's starting job in right field is in no jeopardy regardless of how he does this spring, and his .322/.412/.515 slash line from 2020 carries a lot more weight than a handful of early March at-bats. With free agency looming next offseason, Conforto has plenty of incentive to put together a big campaign.
