The Los Angeles Dodgers secured the outfield by re-signing Teoscar Hernández and signing veteran Michael Conforto. While Hernández shines, Conforto is having a challenging season, batting just .164 with 48 strikeouts in 46 games. Manager Dave Roberts recognizes Conforto's struggle, noting recent improvements but a lack of results. Despite flashing talents through the last ten games, Conforto's performance needs to elevate, especially considering the Dodgers' outfield depth inadequacies. The team's expectation was that Conforto would contribute more significantly this season.
"I think the last handful of days has swung the bat better and just really not getting a whole lot of results with that," Roberts said. "He's in a good spot. I'm sure he's frustrated..."
Over the last 10 games, Conforto has shown flashes, batting .265/.359/.412 with a .771 OPS, but there is still significant work to do.
