Dodgers' Michael Conforto: Taking seat against lefty
Rotowire
Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
With southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the hill for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Conforto will give way to Andy Pages in left field for the series finale. Conforto went 1-for-5 with three walks in the first two games of the series and is now slashing just .173/.318/.284 on the season. He could soon be in danger of losing out on regular starts against right-handed pitching, especially with rookie Hyeseong Kim (1.058 OPS in 48 plate appearances) beginning to build a case for earning more playing time.

Dodgers' Michael Conforto: Three doubles in loss
Rotowire
Conforto went 3-for-4 with three doubles in Tuesday's 11-1 loss to the Athletics.
Conforto and Will Smith combined for six of the Dodgers' eight hits in the game. There's signs of life in Conforto's bat -- he's 6-for-10 with four doubles over his last three games. That short productive stretch has raised his average from .134 to .172, and he's added just a .590 OPS so far in 2025. The veteran outfielder also has two home runs, six RBI, 18 runs scored, eight doubles and a stolen base across 145 plate appearances. Despite his poor hitting, he remains in a starting role in left field, though he may cede some at-bats versus left-handed pitchers if he can't get up to a more acceptable level.

Dodgers' Michael Conforto: Taking seat vs. southpaw
Rotowire
Conforto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Conforto started the previous 11 contests, including one game against a left-handed starter, but he'll head to the bench Tuesday with lefty Shota Imanaga pitching for Chicago. The veteran outfielder has gone 5-for-37 (.135 average) during that 11-game span, so it could be a good time for a day off. Enrique Hernandez is starting at second base, which pushes Tommy Edman to center field and Andy Pages to left.

Rotowire
Conforto went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs in a 6-5 win against Atlanta on Wednesday.
Conforto's most memorable contribution to the victory was his solo shot to center field in the fourth inning, which was the first homer of his Dodgers tenure.

Dodgers' Michael Conforto: On bench for regular-season opener
Rotowire
Conforto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Cubs in Tokyo.
This was fully expected with lefty Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber for Chicago. The Cubs are starting another southpaw in Justin Steele on Wednesday and Conforto will likely be limited to pinch-hitter duties again during that contest. Nevertheless, he hit 20 homers in 130 games with the Giants last year and could provide enough power in his strong-side platoon role to be a useful fourth or fifth outfielder in fantasy this season.

Dodgers' Michael Conforto: Signs with Dodgers
Rotowire
Conforto signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Conforto will head to Los Angeles after batting .237 with 20 home runs, 66 RBI and 56 runs scored over 130 games with the Giants in 2024. The Dodgers were reportedly looking to secure a left-handed outfielder, and they appear to have found their guy in Conforto. The 31-year-old had some intriguing batting splits in 2024, producing a .284 average with six homers and 20 RBI over 95 at-bats versus lefties, so Conforto may not be limited to a platoon role in 2025.

Conforto has found his power with three homers over his last five games, going 8-for-21 (.381) in that span.
