FAQ: All about shoulder injuries like Conforto’s
With two outs and runners on first and second in the fifth inning at Citi Field on Thursday night, Mets All-Star outfielder Michael Conforto swung hard through a 95-mph fastball from D-backs left-hander Robbie Ray. Conforto collapsed, grabbing his left shoulder and stayed down for the better part of a minute before being helped off the field by Mets manager Terry Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez. The slow-motion replay of the injury showed Conforto’s shoulder moving in an obviously unnatural way beneath the pinstripes of his jersey.
