New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has been diagnosed with a right oblique strain that will keep him out for at least a week, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic.

He first suffered the injury making a catch over the weekend and went back to New York for further tests Monday, per Tim Healey of Newsday.

General manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Tuesday that it's "too early to know" whether or not he will be available for Opening Day. The Mets are scheduled to face the Washington Nationals in the first game of the season on March 26.
