The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms with outfielder Michael Conforto, though the deal is not yet finalized. Conforto, a left-handed hitter, addresses the Dodgers' need for left-side outfield production, which was lacking in 2024.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed veteran outfielder Michael Conforto to a one-year, $17-million contract, adding left-handed depth to their outfield after missing out on superstar Juan Soto, who signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765-million deal with the New York Mets. The Dodgers were considered finalists for Soto but were outbid by the Mets. Conforto, a former All-Star, hit .237 with 20 homers for the San Francisco Giants last season. The Dodgers are still interested in re-signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who had a standout season in 2024.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed outfielder Michael Conforto to a one-year, $17 million contract after missing out on Juan Soto, who signed with the New York Mets. Conforto, who played for the San Francisco Giants over the past two seasons, will help fill the Dodgers' need for a left-handed-hitting outfielder.

This signing is part of the Dodgers' strategy to strengthen their roster, with potential further additions expected.
The San Francisco Giants suffered a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres after a rough first inning saw starting pitcher Keaton Winn give up a grand slam, setting the tone for the game.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto has been placed on the 10-day Injured List due to a left hamstring strain, while outfielder Heliot Ramos has been recalled to take his place on the roster. Conforto had been performing well recently, hitting 15-44 with 4 extra-base hits and 6 walks in his last 13 games. Ramos, who had a strong performance in AAA Sacramento, will provide additional hitting power for the Giants. The team's outfield arrangement is uncertain, with Ramos potentially joining Wade Meckler and Luis Matos against lefties, and Mitch Haniger possibly replacing him in the lineup. In other news, infielder Johan Camargo has been outrighted to AAA Sacramento, and there are indications that Anthony DeSclafani may be rehabbing elsewhere for the rest of the year.

The San Francisco Giants rallied late to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-4, clinching their second sweep of the year.

The Giants are less optimistic about his injury than they were last night, and losing him to the Injured List would not be ideal.

Matos was ranked as high as the 30th best prospect in baseball this offseason by Baseball Prospectus.
This week's fantasy baseball waiver wire targets include Christian Bethancourt, Zach McKinstry, Ronny Mauricio, Michael Conforto, and Bobby Miller. Bethancourt is a good matchup play against lefties, McKinstry has been a surprise for the Tigers with a new approach at the plate, Mauricio has been crushing pitchers in AAA and could make an immediate impact if called up, Conforto is surging and should be added where available, and Miller looked great in his debut for the Dodgers and is worth consideration in all formats. Gallegos seems to have taken over as the closer for the Cardinals and needs to be added and considered the primary closer for fantasy purposes.
Michael Conforto had a successful road trip with the San Francisco Giants, hitting .423 and smacking three home runs. He also recorded his first straight assist to a base in nearly two years, proving that he's all the way back following his year-long rehab from major right shoulder surgery. Conforto acknowledged his shoulder procedure in April 2022 was more involved than previously revealed, but the healing was exceptional. The Giants took new scans of both shoulders in December before signing off on his two-year, $36 million contract.
