Mets: No reason to scapegoat Michael Conforto with panicky demotion

NEW YORK -- New York Mets fans expecting a shakeup on Tuesday came away disappointed.

Travis d'Arnaud returned from the disabled list and Jim Henderson landed there. But there was no seismic shift, despite manager Terry Collins suggesting after the Atlanta Braves swept the Mets over the weekend that significant changes could be in order.

Collins had allowed for the possibility of left fielder Michael Conforto getting demoted, but a trip to Triple-A Las Vegas did not ensue. Despite hitting .119 (8-for-67) since May 24, Conforto remains in the starting lineup.
