DUNEDIN, Fla. — Mets leftfielder Michael Conforto will be examined by doctors after leaving Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays with stiffness in his lower back.
Conforto left after his second at-bat, a strike out in the fourth inning. He felt the stiffness after making a swing earlier in the plate appearance.
“It’s just a little bit frustrating just because I can’t remember the last time I came out of a game,” said Conforto, who is hitting .222 in the spring after going 0-for-2. “But I’ve been relatively pain free.”
Mets manager Terry Collins said Conforto has had back spasms in the past.
