The kid stays in the picture.
Michael Conforto kept his Mets roster spot Monday as Michael Cuddyer was activated from the disabled list. The Mets will demote utility man Eric Campbell to Triple-A instead.
Conforto will start and bat seventh Monday night as the Mets, who lead the NL East by 1.5 games over the Nationals, open a four-game series with the Rockies at Citi Field. The lefty swinger is more likely to sit — in favor of Cuddyer — against southpaws.
Conforto, the 22-year-old rookie left fielder, is batting .222/.326/.389 through 11 big league games, with one home run and eight RBIs.
