7 years agoWith each passing day, we seem to be getting more positive news about New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder). Conforto seems to be progressing better than both he and the Mets could have hoped for from his shoulder injury, and he expects to start playing in Grapefruit League games next week. That is obviously tremendous news for Conforto, but as of now, we don’t know if that means his timetable for returning this season will be sped up at all. The team has been publicly communicating a May 1 return date for months now, but at the same time, nobody expected Conforto to be playing in Grapefruit League games this quickly. Unless the team says otherwise, continue to expect an early-May return date here.--John Smith
