Fantasy Analysis
Swisher has continued to reach base since his return, but his double Sunday marked just his second extra-base hit since April 28. He has not voiced any concerns about his hamstring so he could just be regaining his timing at the plate before he hits another power surge. Despite the six-game layoff, Swisher remains 10th in the American League with seven home runs. Consider him as a solid start in most Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/14/2012).

Andy Pettitte pitched eight shutout innings for his first regular-season win since July 2010, leading the New York Yankees over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 Friday night.
Nick Swisher has confounded Fantasy owners with a wildly fluctuating batting average in recent years, but he has proven to be a reliable source of mid-range power and solid run production. Last season was no exception, as Swisher registered his sixth consecutive campaign with at least 20 home runs and 80 runs scored. He has also played at least 150 games in each one of those seasons, so owners can count on Swisher to be durable. While he may not wow you with elite-level numbers, Swisher's overall consistency makes him an attractive choice as a late-round pick in standard mixed leagues, as owners will have a good idea of what they are getting.
