PORT ST. LUCIE — Michael Conforto is getting antsy, as you might expect.
The Mets center fielder’s timetable to return remains fluid, and there is still a May 1 target date that he hopes to beat but that also could be pushed back depending on his progress.
You can see him most days shagging balls in the outfield, and recently he started swinging a bat, a major milestone. He began with dry swings in late January and moved up to hitting off a tee just a few days ago.
