Mets go with Knight over Figueroa: According to The Sports Xchange notes: RHP Brandon Knight, an Olympic bronze medalist, is expected to make a spot start Wednesday against the Nationals. Knight's services are required because a rainout Friday knocked LHP Johan Santana off turn. Knight allowed four runs in five innings against St. Louis on July 26 in his lone start for the Mets before joining Team USA. Nelson Figueroa was also in the mix. The next start for rookie LHP Jonathon Niese probably will be Sept. 22 against the Chicago Cubs, Manuel said. Niese pitched eight shutout innings Saturday night to beat Atlanta for a doubleheader split.

Fantasy Analysis
Knight is nothing more than a high-risk spot starter. He won't get another start this season and we doubt he lasts long enough to get a victory. Figueroa and Niese are nothing more than a low-end middle relievers for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men in Fantasy Week 25 (Sept. 15-21).
