Michael Conforto Resting Against A's
1 year agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. With Conforto starting on the bench, Austin Slater will start in right field and bat eighth against A's right-hander Tayler Scott. Conforto has gone hitless in seven at-bats in his last two games and hasn't gone deep since July 8. He's hitting .174 (4-for-23) with two RBI and one run scored in his last six games, so hopefully a day of rest will get him right. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter would probably benefit from a change of scenery at the trade deadline, but it remains to be seen if the Giants will be sellers or buyers. Overall, Conforto has hit .238/.328/.401 with 13 homers, 51 RBI, four steals and 43 runs in 294 at-bats in his first year in the Bay Area.
