Michael Conforto Out of Starting Lineup With Stiff Back

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is out of Sunday’s lineup due to a stiff back, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Conforto has been slumping lately, but hit an RBI double in the first inning on Saturday.

DiComo also noted that Conforto should still be available off the bench, per Mickey Callaway, but the Mets wanted to give him a rest in the final game before the All-Star break.
