Conforto, who leads the team in home runs (7) and slugging percentage (.490), exited in the fourth inning Saturday after making a hard turn at first base following a one-out single. He appeared to grab at the back of his right thigh before leaving the field.
In his second season with the Giants after seven with the New York Mets, the 31-year-old Conforto is hitting .280 with 20 RBIs after going 1-for-2 on Saturday. He is a career .254 hitter with 154 home runs and 474 RBIs.
His injury came one day after center fielder Austin Slater left a game in the second inning with concussion symptoms after hitting an outfield wall while trying to make a catch. He remained out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.
In Sunday’s corresponding roster move, the Giants recalled outfielder Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento.
