Michael Conforto has received excellent medical updates from his surgeons and should be swinging a bat by late January, according to his representatives. Conforto, who had left shoulder surgery in September, is working out regularly and should be a full-go for spring training, at which point it will be up to the Mets to decide if they want to limit his at-bats and have him gradually build up and potentially even miss Opening Day.

Conforto tore the posterior capsule on a swing Aug. 24, ending what was a breakout season in which he was the Mets’ best hitter.

The Mets are looking for first base/outfield types this offseason, in part, to provide some protection in the event Conforto has any kind of setback.

Ex-Mets slugger could have unique comeback

Here are two interesting minor league free-agent lefty relievers to watch — Ike Davis and Anthony Gose.

Both transformed from position players last season. Both are trying to latch on with organizations at a time when teams are looking for versatility and both Davis and Gose can potentially provide other elements if they prove they can handle the pitching.

“He is committed to doing this,” agent Lou Nero said of Davis, who threw six games in relief last year for the Dodgers’ rookie ball team, working 5 ²/₃ shutout innings with six strikeouts. In theory, Davis could always provide a lefty bat off the bench and/or an emergency first baseman also if needed.

Gose pitched in 11 games for a Single-A Detroit affiliate, allowing nine runs in 10 ²/₃ innings, but also striking out 14 and hitting the upper-90s with his fastball. Gose also would provide a pinch runner and a defensive possibility in the outfield, and his representatives said there already has been plenty of interest in him.
