Michael Conforto (oblique) cleared for Mets
New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (Grade 1 right oblique strain) will not have any restrictions in spring training, per Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen.
What It Means:
Conforto was questionable for the start of the season in March when it was initially scheduled, but the COVID-19 pandemic allowed him to recover. The 27-year-old slashed .257/.363/.494 with 33 homers (career-high), 92 RBI (career-high), 90 runs scored, and 7 steals in 648 plate appearances last season.
numberFire's models project Conforto to bat .255 with 13 homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored, and 2 steals in 233 plate appearances this season. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Mets have the eighth-best odds (+2200) to win the 2020 World Series.
