Michael Conforto closing in on Mets return having ‘exceeded’ expectations
NY Post
The Mets are close to getting another key position player back.
Michael Conforto is expected to be activated soon, despite not being in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Braves. Acting general manager Zach Scott initially said Conforto, who has missed five weeks with a hamstring strain, would be activated, but he ultimately was kept on the IL for undisclosed reasons.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
