(Patrick Semansky/Associated Press)NEW YORK — The New York Mets have activated outfielder Michael Conforto from the seven-day injured list and put him in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. Conforto cleared Major League Baseball’s concussion protocol and was batting third and playing right field on Sunday. The Mets designated outfielder Rajai Davis for assignment. Callaway said the Mets hope that no other team claims the 38-year-old Davis and that he remains in the organization. He said it was a tough decision to cut Davis, and that the Mets wanted to take a longer look at newly acquired outfielder Aaron Altherr.
