With one of the San Francisco Giants' star players trying to get back on the field after picking up an injury, he reportedly was convinced to not come back against his former team despite being eligible to do so.
Winners of eight out of their last 10, they put themselves right back into the NL West race and held onto a tie for the third Wild Card spot entering their matchup on Monday.
They were able to do so after a bit of time, and once the players started returning from the injured list, the offense has finally started to perform like they were expected to coming into the year. The 31-year-old has been out since May 11 after he was removed from the game when clutching at his right hamstring. He was diagnosed with a strain, something that caused him to miss 19 games of action last year with the same injury in his left leg.
The Giants are weighing different options and are seeing if they need to send him on a rehab assignment prior to him rejoining their Major League team, but it also sounds like their star outfielder was looking to play over the weekend before being convinced otherwise.writes, "Conforto pushed to play against his former team but was convinced to give his injury more time to heal."
