**Los Angeles, CA** – The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding high after sweeping the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, securing momentum heading into the Major League Baseball playoffs. The team has seen the return of key players from injury, a resurgent Mookie Betts, and a healthy, effective starting rotation.
However, the picture isn’t entirely rosy. Sources close to the team suggest veteran outfielder Michael Conforto’s place on the playoff roster is in jeopardy.
While Conforto, signed to a one-year, $17 million deal this past winter, was initially seen as a promising addition, his performance has been underwhelming. He has struggled mightily at the plate, batting .192/.298/.324 despite consistent opportunities.
“Track record goes out the window in October,” said Chris Landers of FanSided. With Max Muncy returning, and Tommy Edman and Hyeseong Kim on the mend, there’s no reason to give Conforto any more leash.
With the Dodgers focused on a World Series title, sources indicate that Conforto may not make the 26-man playoff roster, potentially ending his tenure with the team after only one season.
