Michael Conforto Out of Wednesday's Lineup Due to Neck Soreness
Mets Outfielder Scratched from Game Against Cubs
Conforto Has Been Dealing with Neck Issue for Several Days
New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Chicago Cubs due to neck soreness, the team announced. Conforto, who has been dealing with the issue for several days, is considered day-to-day.
Conforto is batting .230 with two home runs and 16 RBIs in 48 games this season. He has been one of the Mets' most consistent hitters, and his absence will be a blow to the team's offense.
The Mets will likely start Brandon Nimmo in left field in Conforto's place. Nimmo is hitting .278 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 45 games this season.
The Mets are currently 24-24 on the season and are in third place in the National League East. They are scheduled to face the Cubs in a four-game series at Wrigley Field.
