Conforto has been diagnosed with a strained right hamstring, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
For what it's worth, Giants manager Bob Melvin said of the strain that "it feels mild," but more will be known after Conforto undergoes an MRI on Sunday. Luis Matos was pulled mid-game from Triple-A Sacramento's contest Saturday and would appear poised to take Conforto's roster spot if a move is needed.

Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday in a loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto accounted for San Francisco's only run with a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning. It was his second homer in as many days following a 12-game stretch without a long ball. Conforto's power has run hot and cold this season -- he went deep three times over his first five games of the campaign, then homered just twice over his subsequent 29 contests before his current two-game long-ball streak.

Conforto went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Peter Lambert to lead off the second inning and crushed it over the wall in right field to open a six-run rally for San Francisco. The outfielder would later add a single in the same frame before finishing the contest with his third three-hit performance of the season. Conforto has now hit safely in four of his last five games, while the home run was his first since April 22. He's batting .269 in May with three RBI and three runs scored and has also drawn a walk in three straight contests.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in a 5-2 win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto scored San Francisco's first run after singling in the second inning, and he accounted for the team's final tally with a solo shot to right field in the sixth. The performance snapped a nine-game stretch during which the veteran batted just .171 and failed to register a multi-hit effort. Despite that cold snap, Conforto has started the season well, posting a .271/.311/.506 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs through 90 plate appearances.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has gone 4-for-20 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and four strikeouts over five games since he recovered from a minor side issue. He's retained a starting role in left field despite the cooldown after a strong start to the campaign. The veteran outfielder is slashing .298/.355/.596 with four homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and five doubles through 62 plate appearances. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt of the year so far.

Conforto is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was not in Monday's lineup due to a minor side issue. As a likely precaution, the outfielder did not start and did not come off the bench. As expected, he returns to the lineup in left field and batting cleanup.
