Michael Conforto Playing The Outfield Thursday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) is playing the outfield in a Cactus League game on Thursday for the first time since 2021. He's officially starting in right field and batting leadoff against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Freddy Peralta. Conforto's shoulder rehab has gone well in spring training, so he'll be a real option for the Giants in right field for the regular season. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger missed all of 2022 after having shoulder surgery, but he appears to be fully healthy now and will be a regular in his first year in the Bay Area. Conforto is tough to project coming off the injury, but he could be a good bet to hit 15 to 20 homers for the Giants and fantasy managers if he can stay healthy.

Giants To Be Cautious With Michael Conforto This Spring

The San Francisco Giants are expected to be cautious with newly-signed outfielder Michael Conforto this spring, likely playing him as designated hitter for the first two weeks of Cactus League games as he continues to rebuild his throwing arm strength. The 29-year-old missed the entire 2022 season while recovering from shoulder surgery. However, he said his shoulder feels good and the team is hoping to have him ready to start the regular season in the outfield. Conforto presents an interesting fantasy case, as he had several consecutive seasons where he hit at least 27 home runs but had a disappointing 2021 season, which is the last time fantasy managers saw him play. He has a lot to prove, but he could certainly become fantasy relevant again if he is healthy.

Giants Land Michael Conforto On Two-Year Deal

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $36 million deal with free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto on Friday. The Giants lost out on superstar shortstop Carlos Correa this week when they had some concerns about his physical -- he later signed with the New York Mets. Instead, the Giants sign the last marquee free agent on the open market. Conforto, 29, didn't play at all in 2022 after having right shoulder surgery in April, but he should be fully healthy for spring training and can provide some nice power numbers in the Giants outfield if he's healthy. The landing spot isn't ideal for a left-handed power hitter like Conforto, but he does have a career .824 OPS with 132 long balls and 396 RBI in his seven major-league seasons.
