New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has a Grade 1 oblique strain, according to Anthony DiComo of mlb.com. This is better news than many anticipated, as oblique strains can be overly serious.
However, DiComo also reported that Conforto hasn’t set a timeline for his return and still doesn’t know if he’ll be ready for Opening Day.
