Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto went hitless in his first two at-bats before recording a single and a home run in his final two trips to the plate. The long ball was his 15th of the campaign and his fifth in August, during which he batted .259 with 15 RBI and 12 runs scored. The outfielder has now hit safely in two of his last three games, posting two extra-base hits, two RBI and two runs over that stretch.

Conforto went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has gone yard twice over his last five games, accounting for half of his hits in that span. The 31-year-old has most often served as the designated hitter when the Giants face right-handed pitchers since Grant McCray's promotion from Triple-A Sacramento pushed Heliot Ramos over to Conforto's former spot in left field. He's also been on the bench more often versus southpaws in August. Conforto has offered decent power this year with 14 homers and a .444 slugging percentage through 104 contests, but he's batting just .237 with 53 RBI and 40 runs scored.

Conforto went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto entered the game as a pinch hitter in the 10th and extended the Giants' lead with a solo blast off Dany Jimenez. The home run was his third this month but just his second extra-base hit since Aug. 6. He's hitting just .190 with 10 strikeouts over his last 26 plate appearances and the home run was his first RBI since Aug. 9. For the year, Conforto is slashing .236/.317/.439 with 13 homers, 51 RBI, 39 runs and a 36:90 BB:K in 372 plate appearances.

Conforto is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta is sending left-hander Chris Sale to the hill, so the left-handed hitting Conforto will begin this one on the bench. Jerar Encarnacion will patrol left field and Marco Luciano will be the designated hitter.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 11-5 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has at least one extra-base hit in each of his last four games, and he's logged multiple hits in three of those contests. The homer was his second of August, which has already been a better power month for the outfielder than July (one homer in 24 games). Conforto is at a .236/.313/.442 slash line with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 34 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 90 contests this season, and he's worth checking on in fantasy while he's on a roll. Despite his inconsistency at the plate this year, he's been a near-everyday player in left field when healthy.

Conforto went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto had just three multi-hit games in July, but he's already got two through three contests in August. The outfielder has gone 9-for-32 (.281) across his last 10 contests, adding a home run, four doubles and four RBI in that span. He's up to a .231/.305/.424 slash line, 11 home runs, 20 doubles, 43 RBI, 32 runs scored and no stolen bases over 88 games in 2024.

Coming into Saturday, the veteran outfielder had been stuck at 10 homers since July 7, a span of 19 contests during which he batted .138 with just five RBI. Conforto went deep a career-high 33 times in 2019 but hasn't belted more than 15 homers in a season since.

Conforto is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rockies sending southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound Friday, Conforto will retreat to the dugout to begin the contest. Conforto sat Thursday against the Dodgers with Clayton Kershaw on the mound, but the former did pinch hit for Derek Hill in the sixth inning and went 1-for-2 with an RBI double in the eighth inning. Hill will start in left field Friday and bat ninth.
