7 years agoNot only was New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) activated from the disabled list on Thursday, but he’s getting right back in the thick of things by starting right away. Conforto is hitting leadoff on Thursday for the opening game of the Mets showdown with the division-rival Washington Nationals. Conforto spent the majority of his breakout 2017 hitting leadoff, slashing .281/.388/.559 (.947 OPS) with 20 home runs, 53 runs scored, 45 RBI and two stolen bases across 317 plate appearances from that position in the batting order. As we’ve been saying all along, since Conforto is in the real-life lineup, he absolutely needs to be in your fantasy lineup.--John Smith
