Two hits in return Conforto went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.
Impact Seeing his first game action since May 16, Conforto hit third for the Mets and appeared fully recovered from the hamstring injury that had sidelined him. The next step for the 28-year-old will be finding his power stroke -- through 35 games on the year, Conforto has only two homers and what would be a career-low .350 SLG.

Mets News: Michael Conforto Injury Update is Great for New York The New York Mets are welcoming Michael Conforto back from the IL, a great injury update for the team.

Officially back from IL Mets manager Luis Rojas confirmed that Conforto (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Recor...
Impact Conforto had been scheduled to return to the lineup Tuesday, but the Mets opted to delay his reinstatement by a day as a precaution since he was recently rehabbing at Triple-A Syracuse, which has dealt with COVID-19-related contact-tracing concerns in recent days. The 28-year-old has passed all subsequent testing for the virus, so the Mets will likely immediately reinstall him as their everyday right fielder Wednesday. Conforto's return will presumably spell an end to Billy McKinney's time as a regular in the New York outfield.

Tests negative, returning Wednesday Conforto (hamstring) was not activated for Tuesday's game against Atlanta out of an abundance of caution due to a COVID-19 situation at Triple-A Syracuse, but he tested negative fo...
Impact Syracuse had Tuesday's game postponed due to the health and safety protocols, and Conforto's activation was held back a day since he just completed a rehab assignment there over the weekend. The 28-year-old is apparently in the clear and is poised to return to action for Wednesday's series finale versus Atlanta after missing the past five weeks with a strained right hamstring.

Not activated from IL as expected Conforto (hamstring) wasn't activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact GM Zack Scott said earlier in the day Conforto would be reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, but the transaction wasn't included in a flurry of roster moves announced about an hour before the 7:10 ET start time. The team hasn't provided any clarity to the situation, so it's unclear when the 28-year-old is now expected back. Triple-A Syracuse -- where Conforto was recently on a rehab assignment -- had Tuesday's game postponed due to COVID-19 healthy and safety protocols, so it's possible the outfielder is caught up in contact tracing.

Activated from injured list Conforto (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Conforto has been out since mid-May with a right hamstring strain. He struggled at the plate through 34 games prior to the injury, hitting .230/.356/.336, but he's considered good to go after going 2-for-11 in three rehab appearances. He's slightly ahead of the schedule he appeared to be on earlier in the month, when he was reportedly tracking towards a return over the final weekend of June.
