Michael Conforto May Be Out Longer
7 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) dislocated his shoulder last year and required September surgery, and Dr. A of Inside Injuries said that a normal recovery timetable for his type of surgery would be seven to eight months. From a medical standpoint, the chances of Conforto being ready to return in April seems to be a long shot. Dr. A said that it'd be a good sign if Conforto makes it back before the All-Star break. It is also common for a player to have setbacks during the recovery from this type of serious surgery, so expecting Conforto to contribute in the first half of the season might be optimistic from a fantasy standpoint. The longer Conforto is out, the more playing time Juan Lagares will receive in center field, but it's not like he's exactly a prime target for fantasy owners.
