Michael Conforto’s once-ailing shoulder appears healthy and the veteran slugger is back to mashing baseballs.
The Giants have eased the 30-yearold back on the field after he missed all of 2022 following right shoulder surgery. But even in limited at-bats in the Cactus League, he’s hit four homers, which was tied for the spring lead through Wednesday’s games.
Conforto signed a two-year, $36 million contract with the Giants in the offseason. This spring is a reminder of how good the former New York Mets star can be when healthy. He was an All-Star in 2017, hit a career-high 33 homers in 2019 and batted .322 during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
Conforto hasn’t played a regular season game since Oct. 3, 2021, when he was with the Mets.
