The Mets will not need a second substitute starter this week beyond Miguel Batista filling in for Jon Niese in the Marlins series on Wednesday or Thursday.

Terry Collins indicated R.A. Dickey, who is starting Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader, will come back on short rest Friday at Washington.

The Mets had potential September call-ups such as Pat Misch and Chris Schwinden at their disposal because rosters expand Thursday.
