NEW YORK -- New York Mets left fielder Michael Conforto received a cortisone injection in his left wrist on Monday after undergoing an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. Conforto was diagnosed with strained cartilage.
Conforto believes he can return to the starting lineup within a few days without requiring surgery now.
"The plan right now is to take a day or two to let the shot sink in and take effect," Conforto said. "It feels pretty good today."
Alejandro De Aza starts in left field for a second straight game with Conforto sidelined.
