Mets' Michael Conforto: Out of lineup Sunday

Conforto is not in the starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.

Analysis:

The outfielder has started the last 14 games but has gone just 2-for-14 over his last three, so manager Terry Collins has opted to give him a rest. Conforto's spot in left field will be taken over by Curtis Granderson in the evening contest against the Bucs, and Juan Lagares will enter the lineup in center.
