Conforto dislocates shoulder with swing

Mets outfielder Michael Conforto dislocated his left shoulder Thursday, collapsing in pain after swinging at a pitch.

The All-Star slugger was hurt in the fifth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks, yet another blow to a team beset by injuries all season and now out of contention.

“It turns your stomach,” manager Terry Collins said. “A player was having a tremendous year ... To go down like that and that kind of injury is tough to watch.”

With two outs and runners on first and second, Conforto swung through a 95 mph fastball by Robbie Ray. He collapsed and grabbed his shoulder.

Conforto, who is batting .279 with 27 home runs and 68 RBIs this season, had an MRI exam after the game. The team announced it revealed a tear in the posterior capsule of Conforto’s shoulder and said he would be put on the disabled list Friday. All treatment possibilities, including surgery, were under consideration.

Castro has concussion: The Minnesota Twins put catcher Jason Castro on the sevenday DL with a concussion.

Castro, a Stanford alum from Castro Valley, took three foul balls off his face mask in Wednesday’s game. Manager Paul Molitor said he suffered dizziness as the game wore on.

Castro left after the fifth inning of the Twins game against the Chicago White Sox with concussion-like symptoms.

White Sox injuries: Chicago second baseman Yoan Moncada and outfielder Leury Garcia left Thursday’s Twins-White Sox game. Moncada, regarded as one of baseball’s top prospects, left before the sixth due to shin splints. Garcia was pulled after three innings with back stiffness.
