Summary
Michael Conforto is crushing it as a pinch-hitter, tying a franchise record with his fourth homer in that role — and he’s loving every second of it. A veteran rebounding from a tough Dodgers season, he’s batting over .300 with elite OBP and SLG in high-leverage spots, bringing confidence and humility that’s energizing the whole team. Meanwhile, reliever Gavin Hollowell is on fire, posting scoreless innings and a stellar ERA since mid-June, thriving in the spotlight. And on the injury front, Hoby Milner and Edward Cabrera are nearing returns, set for live BP and minor league rehab soon — good news for a roster pushing hard to win.
