Conforto is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto is out of the lineup for the second time in three days. The 25-year-old returned earlier than expected from shoulder surgery, coming back in just the sixth game of the season. He hasn't hit all that well, though, with a .211/.395/.316 line which is poor everywhere except in on-base percentage. Juan Lagares will start in center field in his place Saturday.

Conforto is not in the lineup against St. Louis on Thursday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto will receive a standard day off after going 1-for-4 with a run scored during Wednesday's outing. In his place, Brandon Nimmo will start in center field and bat atop the Mets' order for the series finale.

Conforto went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old is taking his leadoff duties seriously, drawing at least one walk in eight straight games and 14 of 16 since coming off the disabled list. Conforto's .204 batting average is being hampered by a contact rate and BABIP both below his career averages, but he's still crossed the plate 12 times already thanks to a .403 OBP.

Conforto is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting each of the past four games, Conforto will open Tuesday's game on the bench with a tough lefty Gio Gonzalez toeing the rubber for the Nationals. In his place, Juan Lagares will start in center field and hit sixth.

Conforto is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto has started four of five games since returning from the disabled list, producing a 1.039 OPS in that span. He'll get a day off with lefty Jarlin Garcia taking the hill for Miami, allowing Juan Lagares to log another start in center field.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He's reached base safely in all five games since coming off the disabled list, slashing .313/.476/.563 with a homer, three RBI and four runs. Conforto should continue to produce strong fantasy value atop the Mets' batting order, with stolen bases being the only traditional 5x5 roto category in which he won't make a contribution.

Conforto is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto will receive a standard maintenance day after making his season debut against the Nationals on Thursday. In his place, Juan Lagares draws the start in center while Asdrubal Cabrera will hit atop the order. Expect to see Conforto back in the starting nine Sunday.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't take Conforto long to shake the rust off. He struck out and grounded into a double play in his first two at-bats before launching a go-ahead, two-run homer off Stephen Strasburg in the fifth inning. The 25-year-old looks healthy following September shoulder surgery and is looking to carry his breakout 2017 season into 2018.

Conforto (shoulder) will lead off and play center field in his season debut Thursday against the Nationals, Tim Britton of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets wouldn't have activated Conforto earlier Thursday if they didn't feel he was ready to contribute right away, so it comes as no surprise that he'll settle back in as the club's everyday leadoff hitter. While Conforto could see an occasional day off in his first couple weeks back from left shoulder surgery, the Mets haven't voiced any concern about the 25-year-old's ability to handle a regular role. Fantasy owners in shallower formats who have been stashing Conforto may nonetheless want to see how he looks in his first handful of games back in action before activating him.

The Mets activated Conforto (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conforto ended up missing just five games during a seven-month recovery from shoulder surgery, amounting to a best-case scenario for the outfielder given that his status looked considerably bleaker heading into spring training. The Mets have yet to release their lineup for Thursday's series opener in Washington, but Conforto's activation suggests that he'll be included. While Conforto could need some time to shake off rust and may receive more frequent rest in his first few weeks back from the injury, he'll likely be plugged back in atop the lineup and take over as the team's primary center fielder, pushing the platoon of Juan Lagares and Brandon Nimmo back to the bench on a regular basis.
