Fantasy Analysis
Schwinden was not expected to stay with the Mets very long as the team's bench returns to five position players. The right-hander has made two spot starts this season, but Jeremy Hefner will take Batista's spot in the rotation. Schwinden should be left untouched in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).
