7 years agoThe New York Mets had long been communicating a May 1 target return date for outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder), but as spring progressed it became clear he would be ready long before that. On Thursday, general manager Sandy Alderson told the media that Conforto could be ready to return as early as April 5. That’s obviously incredible news for Conforto owners, who now may only miss him for a small handful of games. With the way Conforto tore up the Grapefruit League this spring once he actually got into games, it’s not unreasonable to think he could start the season on a hot streak.--John Smith
