Conforto went 2-for-2 with two walks and a double in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He's now slashing .296/.424/.593 in seven games since the All-Star break, pushing his OPS back up to .953. Conforto is having a breakout season, and at just 24 years old he should remain a key component in the Mets' offense for years to come.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto sports a rock-solid .278/.399/.544 slash line with 16 homers, 46 RBI and 50 runs through 74 games. The Mets have a crowded outfield, and as long as everyone is healthy, the youngster isn't going to receive full-time at-bats. However, his bat will keep him in the lineup enough to provide solid fantasy results in the majority of settings.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with two walks, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 14-2 rout of the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-4 in his return to action right before the All-Star break, Conforto kicked off the second half with a performance that looked more like one from his fantastic April (.321/.394/.661) than his rough June (.206/.383/.317). The 24-year-old has already set new career highs in homers (15), RBI (45) and runs (48), and he appears to be cementing his spot in the Mets outfield for years to come.

Conforto (hand) was activated from the DL prior to Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto returns to the team after missing 10 games due to a hand contusion that he suffered June 25. The outfielder is not in the lineup during his first contest back with the team, as manager Terry Collins elected to give him another day off after playing with High-A St. Lucie on Thursday. In his place, Granderson will continue to man center field, but Conforto should be available off the bench.

Conforto (hand) went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored during his rehab start for High-A St. Lucie on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder is eligible to return from the 10-day disabled list Saturday, and although he may need one more tuneup performance, Conforto could make at least one return appearance before the upcoming All-Star break. It'll be interesting to see how the Mets divvy up playing time if they have Conforto, Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce.

Conforto (hand) will join High-A St. Lucie on Thursday for a minor-league rehab assignment, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was able to take batting practice Wednesday with no issues, and he's now set to tackle the last obstacle in his recovery from a hand bruised hand. The 24-year-old is eligible to return from the disabled list Saturday, and it sounds like he'll be able to do that if everything goes well during his minor-league tune-up.

Conforto (hand) will take regular batting practice Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The young outfielder's hand reportedly feels much better already, and Conforto believes that he'll be able to return prior to the All-Star break. No official timetable for his return has been released, but between this development and the encouraging words, things appear to be looking up.

Conforto was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a bruised left. hand.
EDGE Analysis
While we await official word on the results of Friday's examinations, Conforto's official diagnosis remains a hand contusion. The move is retroactive to June 28, so he'll be eligible to return July 8 if he's ready, though the team may decide to hold him out past All-Star break to give him some extra time to heal either way. Curtis Granderson, who has five homers in his last 10 games, will continue start in center field almost every day while Conforto is sidelined.

Conforto (hand) is not in Saturday's lineup and is expected to be placed on the DL, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will miss his fifth straight game with a bruised hand, and manager Terry Collins indicated that there would be an official announcement regarding a DL stint prior to the game against the Phillies. Assuming he is placed on the DL, the soonest he could return would be July 7. While he is sidelined, Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce figure to play almost every day.

Conforto (hand) will likely land on the disabled list if he is unable to play Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto underwent his third round of examinations (an MRI and CT scan) prior to Friday's game, giving the Mets reason to believe that all is not right with their star outfielder. He will remain day-to-day as the Mets await results from his tests, but it appears more and more likely that they will have to place him on DL after missing the past three games, not including Friday's series opener against Philadelphia.
