Michael Conforto Struggling
Michael Conforto's mark of 63. In addition, all his batted-ball metrics from a year ago are down. Conforto went 8-for-26 with two home runs and four doubles in his first eight games, but he's hit into as many double plays as he's gotten hits (six) since then. The Dodgers signed Conforto for $17 million in the offseason, so they are incentivized to keep giving him chances. Manager Dave Roberts thinks the 32-year-old has been pressing at the plate. Conforto struck out two more times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves, and his OPS is down to .528 after going hitless in his last 29 at-bats. The Dodgers have the luxury of being patient with Conforto, but it doesn't mean he won't find himself on the bench soon enough.
