Michael Conforto's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder Michael Conforto (side) has a very slight side issue, which is why he's not in the starting lineup on Monday versus the visiting Washington Nationals. However, it's likely that Conforto will return to action for the second game of the series on Tuesday and he thinks he'll be available off the bench on Monday. With the Giants being cautious with Conforto to begin the week, the left-handed-hitting Mike Yastrzemski will start in right field and bat sixth for the Gigantes on Monday against Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams. Yaz will be looking for his first career hit against Williams after facing him only three previous times. Conforto has been red-hot in the early going -- 13-for-37 with three home runs and 10 RBI in the first 10 games -- so his fantasy managers will surely be hoping he's back in there on Tuesday.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. There is no injury being reported so it's assumed that his absence is a routine rest day. It's a bit odd with a right-hander on the mound, but the expectation is he'll be back in the lineup on Tuesday. In the meantime, LaMonte Wade is starting in left field with Mike Yastrzemski moving to right field on Monday.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto will be batting cleanup for the fifth time this season. The left-handed bat will face San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Matt Waldron in the rubber match of the three-game set on Sunday. Conforto has been swinging a hot bat to open the season with a dominant .382/.432/.765 stat line. The 31-year-old has also hit three round-trippers, scored eight runs, and tallied 10 RBI. Matt Waldron struggled in his first start this season as he allowed nine hits and four runs across four innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, making Conforto a very nice play in DFS, as he should see prime opportunities to bring in and score runs.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double and a grand slam in Saturday's 9-6 win over the San Diego Padres. He blasted a grand slam off Tom Cosgrove in the top of the eighth inning to put the Giants 9-1. The 31-year-old is off to a hit start, hitting .462 with two home runs, five RBI, and five runs scored over three games. He is San Francisco's starting left fielder and will look to improve on his 2023 campaign, where he slashed .239/.334/.384 with 15 home runs and 58 RBI over 470 plate appearances. Fantasy managers looking for a streamer or outfield help can look to pick up and start Conforto while he's wielding a hot bat.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto got off on the right foot on Opening Day, going 3-for-4 with a homer in a 6-4 loss against the San Diego Padres. Conforto also scored three runs while driving in one. Although the lefty was batting seventh in the Giants Opening Day lineup, he should be able to move up if he continues to hit well. If this happens he could be someone to watch, as we've seen him have great fantasy seasons in the past. For now, though, he can be left to waivers outside of deeper leagues.
