It’ll be an eventful week for Michael Conforto, as he’ll make his spring debut in the field on Thursday, a major milestone on his path back from shoulder surgery.
“I keep telling the guys who are like, ‘You’re back,’ that I’m not back until I’m out there playing baseball, playing the field,” Conforto said. “It’ll feel like an accomplishment, for sure, to get back in the field.”
On Tuesday, Conforto hit a homer in his second consecutive game, this time drilling a shot to right off of Graham Ashcraft in the third. It’s a sign to him that a mechanical adjustment to get his hands ready and get his front foot down has paid off.
