Jun 30 2025Fedde (3-8) took the loss Monday at Pittsburgh, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over five innings with no strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde conceded a leadoff homer to Spencer Horwitz in the first, and it was all downhill from there. The Pirates lineup peppered the St. Louis right-hander for 10 hits, matching Fedde's season-worst mark achieved when he also allowed seven runs against Milwaukee on April 27. With this disaster, the 32-year-old coughed up seven earned runs for the second consecutive start, as he failed to tally a K for the first time this season. Fedde is slated to carry a 4.56 ERA through 92.2 total innings into a difficult road matchup against the Cubs this weekend.
Jun 25 2025Fedde (3-7) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, giving up seven runs on eight hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was the second-shortest outing of the season for Fedde, who tied his season worst in runs allowed. The 32-year-old right-hander served up a season-high three home runs, and the eight hits against him were also his most allowed since his sixth start of the year back on April 27. Fedde will take a pedestrian 4.11 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 57:38 K:BB over 87.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Pirates, who do have MLB's lowest OPS (.636) since the beginning of May.
Jun 19 2025Fedde did not factor into the decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde opened with three scoreless innings below allowing two runs over the fourth and fifth, one of which was the result of a two-out error. The 32-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings, though he's gone deep enough to earn a quality start just once during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:36 K:BB across 84 innings into a home matchup with the Cubs next week.
Jun 14 2025Fedde (3-6) took the loss Friday as the Cardinals fell 3-2 to the Brewers, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a solid performance from the right-hander, who tossed 55 of 86 pitches for strikes before exiting the game, but a lack of run support extended Fedde's winless streak to six starts. During that stretch, he's posted a more-than-respectable 3.34 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB over 32.1 innings. Fedde's odds of ending that drought seem good in his next outing, however, as he lines up for a road start next week against the White Sox.
Jun 7 2025Fedde didn't factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four hits and four walks over 5.1 scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The righty once again had trouble finding the plate consistently, tossing only 52 of 99 pitches for strikes, but Fedde avoided taking any damage despite putting runners in scoring position in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. It's the fifth time in 13 starts this season that Fedde has issued at least four free passes, leaving him with a shaky 46:33 K:BB through 73.2 innings, but he still sports a respectable 3.54 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.
Jun 1 2025Fedde (3-5) took the loss Sunday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde pitched well Sunday, delivering his first quality start in his last four outings. However, the Cardinals failed to provide much run support against Jacob deGrom on the other end in an eventual 8-1 defeat, leaving Fedde with his second straight loss. The 32-year-old right-hander sports a 3.82 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 44 strikeouts through 12 starts (68.1 innings) this season. Fedde is currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next outing.
May 26 2025Fedde (3-4) took the loss in Monday's contest at Baltimore. He allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over five innings with five strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The St. Louis right-hander generated a solid 14 whiffs out of 91 total pitches to tally his third outing with five or more Ks this season over 11 total starts. The Orioles lineup did most of their damage when center fielder Dylan Carlson cracked a three-run homer off Fedde in the fourth. Across 62.1 total innings, Fedde has pitched to a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 39:26 K:BB. The 32-year-old is currently slated to make his next start at Texas this weekend.
May 21 2025Fedde allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in five innings versus the Tigers on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde began by allowing a leadoff home run to Kerry Carpenter and the Tigers tacked on another run before the inning concluded. The deficit doubled in the third after Riley Greene hit a two-run blast two right, but Fedde was able to retire the final seven batters he faced after that. Fedde had allowed only three home runs all season heading into Tuesday, and he has now posted a 2.43 ERA on the road this season compared to a 5.20 ERA at home. The right-hander lines up for a potential bounce-back road start against the Orioles next week.
May 14 2025Fedde allowed three hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde's control issues returned Wednesday after he pitched a six-hit shutout with no walks versus the Nationals last Friday. The right-hander didn't pay for his wildness in this start, which he finished with 93 pitches (51 strikes). Fedde lowered his ERA to 3.44, but his WHIP is elevated at 1.30, and he's not inspiring much confidence with a 32:25 K:BB over 52.1 innings. He's never been particularly reliant on strikeouts, but he's historically had trouble being any better than mediocre when carrying a BB/9 over 4.0. He's lined up for a tough matchup at home versus the Tigers next week.
May 10 2025Fedde (3-3) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing six hits while striking out eight over nine scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde had given up 10 earned runs across his last two outings, but the 32-year-old right-hander was unstoppable in Friday's game and joined Nathan Eovaldi and Michael King as the only pitchers to throw complete game shutouts this season. He generated 10 whiffs on 109 pitches (68 strikes) while inducing 10 groundballs, and he faced the minimum number of batters in five of nine frames. It's the second time Fedde has faced the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft, and he has held the Nationals scoreless across those 16 innings. He'll take a 3.86 ERA and 1.31 WHIP into his next outing, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Phillies.
May 4 2025Fedde (2-3) earned the win in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde's start was pushed back a day after Saturday's rainout. He was able to earn a win for the first time since his season debut, but he was not at his best, as the five walks were a season high. The 32-year-old right-hander has had some trouble with control this season, as evidenced by his 21:21 K:BB over 37.2 innings across seven starts. He's added a mediocre 4.78 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. Fedde's next start is projected to be on the road versus one of his former teams, the Nationals.
May 3 2025Fedde's start against the Mets on Saturday won't take place, as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde was scheduled to face off against Mets hurler Tylor Megill on Saturday, but the contest has been rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader Sunday. Fedde has been tabbed to start Game 1 of the twin bill, per Tim Healey of Newsday.
Apr 21 2025Fedde logged a no-decision against Atlanta on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while notching three strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde had only one clean inning among his six frames, but he managed to mostly tip-toe around trouble with the help of two double plays behind him. The righty was in line for the win when he departed, but Atlanta scored five runs in the eighth frame to pull out the victory. While Fedde has registered a fine 3.33 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and now has four quality starts in five appearances, he's played with fire in walking three of more batters in each of his past four outings while heavily pitching to contact. As a result, his FIP is a much less desirable 5.07, while his K:BB is an ugly 13:14 through 27 innings.
Apr 15 2025Fedde (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros after giving up one run on six hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde managed to escape two bases-loaded jams, with one coming in the second inning by getting Mauricio Dubon to fly out and another in the fourth after by forcing Jose Altuve to fly out. Jake Meyers plated a run on a single in the sixth, but Fedde was able to induce a double play to close his outing on a positive note. Although the veteran right-hander carries a solid 3.43 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through four starts (21 innings), his 10:11 K:BB is a cause for concern heading into next week's tough matchup in Atlanta.
Apr 9 2025Fedde came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Pirates, walking four and striking out two over six scoreless, no-hit innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander traded goose eggs with Mitch Keller for 88 pitches (51 strikes) before getting lifted in a game that didn't see its first run cross the plate until the 12th inning. Fedde has delivered two quality starts in three trips to the mound to begin the season, and he'll take a 4.20 ERA and 5:8 K:BB through 15 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Astros.
Apr 4 2025Fedde (1-1) took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks with one strikeout over three innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde was torched for five runs in the first inning, highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu. His command was off, as he threw only 37 of 65 pitches for strikes and generated just three whiffs. The 32-year-old owns a 7.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 3:4 K:BB through nine innings this season and will try to rebound in a more favorable matchup against the Pirates next week.
Mar 29 2025Fedde (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Minnesota, allowing one run on two hits over six innings. He struck out two without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Fedde wasn't dominant, the right-hander generated plenty of weak contact en route to a quality start in his 2025 debut. He tossed an efficient 73 pitches (47 strikes) before exiting, picking up where he left off after a successful return from the KBO in 2024. Fedde is scheduled to make his next start on the road next weekend in Boston.
Mar 15 2025Fedde has permitted seven runs on 10 hits, three walks and four strikeouts over 10 innings during Grapefruit League action. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Much of the damage came in his last start against the Marlins, when Fedde served up three home runs and six runs over four frames. Fedde had just a 19.7 percent strikeout rate from May on last season and the lack of whiffs has continued this spring. However, while fantasy managers shouldn't count on many strikeouts, Fedde showed last year that he is capable of providing useful ratios.
Feb 20 2025Fedde is scheduled to start the Cardinals' Grapefruit League opener Saturday versus the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde is unlikely to cover more than one or two innings Saturday, but he'll get gradually stretched out during spring training and should be ready to handle a typical starter's workload when his first turn through the rotation of the regular season comes up. After returning stateside with a revamped repertoire in 2024 following a one-year stint in Korea, Fedde emerged as a viable mid-rotation arm between stops with the White Sox and Cardinals. Over his 31 starts, the 31-year-old right-hander submitted a 3.30 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while punching out 154 batters over 177.1 innings.
Sep 25 2024Fedde (9-9) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde racked up 14 whiffs en route to his 10 punchouts, which were his second-most this season (he fanned 11 batters against the Twins on April 23). The right-hander picked up his second straight quality start, and he's given up two or fewer earned runs in five of his past seven outings. If Fedde doesn't pitch again this season, as expected, he'll finish the campaign with career-best marks in wins (nine), ERA (3.30), WHIP (1.16) and strikeouts (154) while tallying a career-high 31 starts and 177.1 innings.
Sep 19 2024Fedde allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde surrendered a fourth-inning run but otherwise kept the Pirates off the scoreboard. The right-hander finished with his first quality start since Aug. 25 and just his second over his past 10 outings. Fedde's numbers haven't been overwhelming, but his 3.38 season ERA is on pace to be easily the best of his seven-year career.
Sep 13 2024Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out three during the extra-innings loss to Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde tossed three shutout frames before the Blue Jays pushed across three runs in the fourth inning. He's now failed to complete six innings in six of his eight starts since being acquired by the Cardinals. During that span. he's produced a 4.43 ERA, pushing his season mark up to 3.45. Fedde is 0-5 over his last six starts and hasn't won since Aug. 7. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is projected to be at home against the Pirates.
Sep 7 2024Fedde (8-9) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 6-1 to the Mariners. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was locked in a scoreless pitchers' duel with Bryce Miller through four innings, but Fedde blinked first and loaded the bases in the fifth on a hit-by-pitch, a single and a walk before Randy Arozarena brought home the game's first run with a sacrifice fly. Matthew Liberatore relieved Fedde and prevented any further damage, but the Cards were never able to tie things back up. Over seven starts with St. Louis, Fedde has a 4.30 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB through 37.2 innings, a far cry from his numbers with the White Sox before being traded. He'll look to find his early-season form in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Toronto.
Aug 30 2024Fedde (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The St. Louis right-hander's regression with his new ballclub continued in this 96-pitch outing despite generating a solid 13 whiffs. He struggled the second time through the Yankees lineup in the third, yielding an RBI-double to Juan Soto and retiring Aaron Judge before Austin Wells cracked a two-run homer to right field. After pitching to a 3.11 ERA over 121.2 innings with the White Sox, Fedde now sports a 4.64 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 33 frames. He tentatively is scheduled to make his upcoming start against the Mariners at home next weekend.
Aug 25 2024Fedde did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Twins. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde tossed his most effective game as a Cardinal, putting together his first quality start in five starts since joining the club. A leadoff homer in the bottom of the first by Willi Castro was the only run Fedde allowed and one of only two hits the Twins could muster off the veteran righty. However, he was also provided little run support and when he was removed, the game was tied at one. Fedde's ERA since joining the Cardinals now stands at 4.23 over 27.2 innings. His next start is scheduled to take place in the Bronx against the Yankees.
Aug 21 2024Fedde (8-7) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings as the Cardinals fell 3-2 to the Brewers. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander tossed only 53 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his inefficiency left him one out short of his 11th quality start of the season. Fedde has had a bumpy beginning to his St. Louis tenure after being acquired at the trade deadline, going 1-3 in his first four starts for the team with a 4.98 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB through 21.2 innings. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Minnesota.
Aug 13 2024Fedde (8-6) took the loss against the Reds on Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde generated plenty of weak contact, but he registered only six whiffs on 89 pitches and was burned by two home runs. He has failed to log a quality start in three outings with the Cardinals, yielding 10 earned runs over 16 innings. On the season, the 31-year-old owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 120:38 K:BB across 137.2 frames and lines up for a home matchup with the Brewers next week.
Aug 7 2024Fedde (8-5) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Rays on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde's second start with the Cardinals went much better than his first, as he was able to limit the damage to a single run in the third inning. He allowed five runs over five innings in his team debut last Friday. Fedde has failed to pitch past the fifth inning in four of his last five starts, though the Cardinals' bullpen makes that less of an issue from a team perspective. Overall, the right-hander is at a 3.28 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 118:36 K:BB over 131.2 innings across 23 starts between the White Sox and the Cardinals this year. He's projected to make his next appearance at Cincinnati.
Aug 2 2024Fedde (7-5) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All five runs charged to Fedde came in the second inning -- the right-hander allowed five hits in the frame, including a three-run Christian Bethancourt homer and an Ian Happ solo shot. While he was able to finish the outing on a high note, retiring the last 10 batters faced, it certainly wasn't the debut the Cards had in mind. The five runs charged match a season high for Fedde, who posted a 2.85 ERA over his final eight starts (47.1 innings) with the White Sox. Overall, the 31-year-old Fedde sports a 3.34 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP and 112:34 K:BB through 22 starts (126.2 innings) this season. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home versus Tampa Bay.
Jul 30 2024Fedde is scheduled to make his first start with the Cardinals on Friday versus the Cubs in Chicago, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Before being acquired from the White Sox on Monday, Fedde made his final start with the Pale Hose this past Saturday. Following Monday's trade, Fedde won't join the Cardinals in St. Louis before their series with the Rangers comes to an end Wednesday, as he'll instead remain in Chicago while waiting for his new teammates to arrive Thursday. Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his 21 starts with the White Sox this season.
Jul 29 2024The Cardinals acquired Fedde, outfielder Tommy Pham and a player to be named later or cash considerations on Monday in a three-team trade involving the White Sox and Dodgers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The White Sox acquired infielder/outfielder Miguel Vargas, infielders Alexander Albertus (undisclosed) and Jeral Perez and a player to be named or cash considerations, while the Dodgers received utility man Tommy Edman (wrist) and right-handers Michael Kopech and Oliver Gonzalez. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde has had a breakout season in Chicago following one year in Korea and provides an immediate boost to a Cardinals rotation that's struggled for the last several weeks. With the addition of Fedde, Andre Pallante will likely move to the bullpen. Fedde's last start with the White Sox came Saturday, so he could be ready to make his Cardinals debut as soon as Thursday in Chicago against the Cubs.
Jul 27 2024Fedde (7-4) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde wasn't sharp, throwing 47 of 79 pitches for strikes in his shortest start of the season. He ran into trouble the second time through the order, as the Mariners put up all three runs on his line in the fourth inning. It was the first time over four starts in July he's allowed more than two runs. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise this year with a 3.11 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 108:34 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 21 starts. His career high for innings in a year in North America is 138.1 frames back in 2021, but he threw 180.1 innings in the KBO last year, so fatigue down the stretch shouldn't be an issue. Fedde is tentatively projected to make his next start at Minnesota.
Jul 22 2024Fedde did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran righty reached double-digit quality starts, securing his 10th of the season with this outing. The only blemishes on Fedde's evening were solo homers allowed to Marcus Semien and Leody Taveras. The 31-year-old has been a revelation in his return stateside from Korea, pitching to a 2.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings this season. Mercifully, his time in Chicago looks to be limited as he's a significant trade target for next week's July 30 deadline. Fedde is tentatively set to make his next start for the White Sox against Seattle at home this weekend.
Jul 10 2024Fedde (7-3) earned the win in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Minnesota, allowing four hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first inning, Fedde proceeded to blank the Twins over his subsequent four innings, picking up his team-leading seventh win. Fedde's been one of the few bright spots this year on a last-place White Sox team -- he's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. Overall, Fedde's ERA is down to 2.99 with a 1.13 WHIP and 99:30 K:BB across 19 starts (111.1 innings) as he continues to build value ahead of the trade deadline.
Jul 9 2024Fedde and the White Sox won't play the Twins on Tuesday due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The two teams will play a doubleheader Wednesday in order to make up for Tuesday's contest, and Fedde will get the nod to start Game 1, per Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com. The 31-year-old righty has enjoyed a breakout campaign in his first year with the White Sox, posting a career-best 3.13 ERA and 1.13 WHIP alongside a 94:28 K:BB across 106.1 innings.
Jul 4 2024Fedde (6-3) picked up the win in Wednesday's 8-2 victory over the Guardians, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander produced his ninth quality start of the season, and fourth in his last five trips to the mound, on 91 pitches (54 strikes). Fedde's control wasn't as sharp as usual -- he walked multiple batters for the first time since May 31 -- but Cleveland wasn't able to take advantage. Since the beginning of June. Fedde sports a 3.16 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB through 37 innings, and his value is only increasing if the White Sox decide to move him before the trade deadline. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Twins.
Jun 27 2024Fedde (5-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde got off to a rough start, surrendering a leadoff home run to Shohei Ohtani to open the game before getting tagged for another three runs in the third. The right-handed veteran would allow just one more hit over his final three frames, but the damage had already been done as the White Sox's offense failed to provide any run support. Fedde has now gone at least six innings in four consecutive starts and hasn't walked more than one batter in any of his six outings this month. He currently holds a 25:3 K:BB in June to go along with a 3.48 ERA.
Jun 21 2024Fedde (5-2) took the loss to the Tigers on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde allowed a two-run home run to Carson Kelly but was otherwise excellent, retiring the final 14 batters he faced. Despite the loss, this was Fedde's third consecutive quality start, and he has now yielded fewer than three earned runs in 12 of 16 outings this year. Fedde owns a 3.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 86:24 K:BB over 94.1 innings in what has been the best season of his career to this point . He tentatively lines up to face the Dodgers next week.
Jun 16 2024Fedde (5-1) picked up the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings while striking out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde got himself into trouble early and often, surrendering leadoff hits in four of his six innings of work. However, the right-hander was able to limit the damage to just two runs, one of which came across in the opening frame. He threw only 12 first-pitch strikes (out of 26 first pitches) but still managed to hang on for his first win since May 14 against the Nationals. Fedde has now logged a quality start in back-to-back outings and in three of his last five starts overall. He also carries an impressive 17:1 K:BB through three June starts.
Jun 10 2024Fedde allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde was brilliant through seven scoreless frames before Dominic Canzone tagged him for a solo homer leading off the eighth. That spelled the end of Fedde's outing, but he departed in line for the victory with a 4-1 lead. However, Michael Kopech entered and gave up three runs, wiping out the advantage and forcing Fedde to settle for a no-decision. Despite the late letdown, this was nice bounce-back for the right-hander after he gave up seven earned runs across 10 innings over his previous two starts. He's in the midst of a career-best campaign with a 3.10 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB through 81.1 frames.
Jun 5 2024Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk over five innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde left the game in line for the win until the Cubs rallied ahead in the seventh inning. He had quality starts in four of his six outings in May, but he's given up seven runs over his last 10 innings across two starts. Fedde is at a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 73:22 K:BB through 74.1 innings over 13 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Seattle.
May 31 2024Fedde did not factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 loss to Milwaukee, allowing four runs on nine hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde's start offered a mix bag as he allowed a season-high 13 baserunners but also managed to provide eight punchouts. The 31-year-old right-hander has been a surprising source of strikeouts as he's generated 66 in 69.1 total innings. With this four-run outing, his ERA now stands at 3.12 to go along with a 1.18 WHIP. Fedde is tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Red Sox at home next week.
May 26 2024Fedde came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Baltimore, allowing three hits and three walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander baffled the O's over 103 pitches (64 strikes) and left the mound with the White Sox ahead 3-0, only to see Jordan Leasure and Michael Kopech serve up three homers between them in the eighth inning. Fedde has delivered three scoreless outings in his last four starts, giving him five quality starts on the season, and he sports a stunning 2.80 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB through 64.1 innings -- a far cry from the 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP he compiled in 454.1 innings for the Nationals prior to spending 2023 in the KBO. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.
May 20 2024Fedde (4-1) took the loss Monday against Toronto, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde got hit hard in his start, as five of the seven hits he yielded went for extra bases. Despite the rough outing, the 31-year-old righty sports a 3.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 52:15 K:BB over 58 innings this season. Fedde is slated to face Baltimore at home in his next start this weekend.
May 15 2024Fedde (4-0) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, scattering three hits over seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory. He struck out six without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing the team he spent the first six seasons of his MLB career with before pitching in the KBO in 2023, Fedde showed the Nats what they were missing, tossing 60 of 99 pitches for strikes as he delivered a second straight scoreless effort and his fourth quality start of the year. The 31-year-old right-hander will take a 2.60 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB through 52 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come early next week in Toronto.
May 9 2024Fedde (3-0) earned the win over Cleveland on Thursday, allowing six hits and striking out three batters over six scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It appeared Fedde's surprising effectiveness to begin the campaign could be coming to an end after he gave up five runs over 4.1 frames versus St. Louis his last time out, but he rebounded strongly with six scoreless innings Thursday. All six hits against the right-hander were singles, but he did need a little help to escape without a run on his ledger, as Jordan Leasure held off the Guardians after relieving Fedde with no outs and the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning. Fedde's poor career track record provides a logical reason for fantasy managers to question how long he can keep pitching well, but he's exceeded expectations so far with a 3.00 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB through 45 innings covering eight starts.
May 4 2024Fedde escaped with a no-decision Saturday in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, giving up five runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander blanked St. Louis for four innings despite issuing free passes in the first, second and fourth frames, but his luck ran out in the fifth. Fortunately for Fedde, the White Sox came back to tie the game up after he left the mound before winning in the 10th. Fedde threw only 48 of 91 pitches for strikes in his shortest outing of the season, and he has walked at least three batters in three of his last five starts. He'll take a 3.46 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB through 39 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Guardians.
Apr 28 2024Fedde (2-0) earned the win after he pitched 8.1 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out nine batters in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde tossed three scoreless innings before he surrendered a solo homer to Isaac Paredes in the top of the fourth frame. He later allowed another run in the top of the ninth when attempting to finish off the complete game, exiting with a runner on second and one out in the final inning. The 31-year-old has now recorded back-to-back quality starts while he's given up just three total runs over 22 innings in his last three outings. Fedde will carry a 2.60 ERA into his next projected start Friday in St. Louis.
Apr 24 2024Fedde allowed one earned run on three hits and struck out 11 batters across six innings Tuesday en route to a loss against Minnesota. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde got behind early after allowing an RBI single to Max Kepler in the first inning, but an Eloy Jimenez three-run homer allowed him to leave the game with a 3-1 lead. However, the 31-year-old was unable to secure his second win of the season thanks to a ninth-inning rally from the Twins. His 11 strikeouts represent a new career high, and the right-hander has emerged as one of the more reliable arms in Chicago's rotation with a 2.73 ERA across his first five starts. He's lined up to start again at home against the Rays on Sunday.
Apr 17 2024Fedde (1-0) earned the win in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals after he allowed three hits and three walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Fedde's first win since Sept. 4, 2022 as he delivered his best start of the season in Wednesday's nightcap. The right-hander generated 30 combined called and swinging strikes and didn't allow a baserunner to reach third base. Through four starts Fedde now has a 3.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 20.1 innings.
Apr 11 2024Fedde allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits over five innings but did not factor into the decision as the White Sox fell to Cleveland on Wednesday. He struck out three and issued three walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde appeared to be rolling early as the White Sox jumped out to a 5-0 lead, retiring 10 of the first 12 batters he faced in the contest. However, things began to unravel in the bottom of the fourth when the right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Josh Naylor with one out, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Josh's brother Bo Naylor just three batters later. Fedde allowed three long balls on the day, the second time in three starts in which he's allowed multiple home runs. On a positive note, the right-hander was able to make it through five innings for the second straight start and still has not suffered a loss on the season.
Apr 5 2024Fedde did not factor into the decision Friday against the Royals, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Fedde conceded a single run Friday night, he gave up plenty of hard contact, allowing eight batted balls in excess of 95-mph. The 31-year-old right-hander generated only three whiffs in his 91 total pitches, foreshadowing that there may be fewer strikeouts in future outings. Fedde is currently scheduled to pitch on the road against the Guardians in his next start.
Mar 31 2024Fedde did not factor into the decision, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings during Sunday's loss to the Tigers. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde needed 96 pitches to record 14 outs, but looked solid in his first start with the White Sox. After playing each of his first big league seasons with the Nationals, Fedde spent time last year in the KBO with much success, leading to another major league opportunity, this time with the White Sox. His next start is tentatively slated to take place on the road next weekend against Kansas City.
Mar 24 2024Fedde suffered a quadriceps injury in Sunday's matchup with the Rockies, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde was on the mound for the start Sunday versus Colorado, tossing five innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four batters. In the contest, he took a line drive off of his right leg, suffering a quadriceps contusion. He reportedly avoided a significant injury, and Fedde expects to be able to make his first scheduled start of the 2024 campaign Sunday versus the Tigers.
Mar 13 2024Fedde appears to be in line to start for the White Sox on Opening Day against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde emerged as the frontrunner to start Opening Day after the White Sox traded Dylan Cease to the Padres on Wednesday in exchange for a haul of prospects. Fedde's last season in the majors came in 2022, when he accumulated a 5.81 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while striking out 94 batters across 127 innings. He spent last season in the Korea Baseball Organization and won the league's MVP award after posting a 2.00 ERA, and the 31-year-old righty has has been OK in spring training thus far. Fedde's recent success should be enough to warrant cautious optimism from fantasy managers heading into the new season.
Dec 5 2023Fedde signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde will return to the majors after spending the 2023 season in the KBO, where he posted a 2.00 ERA and was named the league's MVP. The 30-year-old righty put up a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with the Nationals between 2017-22, but the White Sox are apparently willing to take a chance on Fedde after finishing with one of baseball's worst pitching staffs last season.
Nov 7 2023Fedde is drawing interest from MLB teams this winter after a successful 2023 season in the Korea Baseball Organization, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the KBO's NC Dinos last December and went on to post a 20-6 record, 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 209:35 K:BB across 180.1 innings (30 starts) as he claimed the Korean version of the Cy Young Award. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 5.41 ERA in 454.1 innings with the Nationals between the 2017-22 seasons, but it looks like he'll get another shot in the majors and could even command a fairly sizable deal.
Dec 20 2022Fedde agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fedde was given a $200,000 signing bonus and an $800,000 salary, reaching the one-year maximum salary for a first-year foreign player in the KBO. The 29-year-old was a bust as a 2014 first-round pick before being non-tendered by the Nationals earlier this offseason.
Nov 18 2022The Nationals declined to tender Fedde a contract for 2023, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Washington kept trotting Fedde out there despite his struggles -- he had the second-worst ERA (5.81) among pitchers who threw at least 120 innings in the majors last season, trailing only teammate Patrick Corbin. Fedde will likely have to scratch and claw for a roster spot somewhere in spring training.
Jul 24 2019Fedde did not factor into the decision after pitching four innings in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits while striking out two and walking two.

Jul 5 2018Fedde (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.Fedde underwent an MRI on Wednesday, which cleared him of structural damage, but it did show inflammation. Following the diagnosis, he'll likely be on the shelf until after the All-Star Game. Jefry Rodriguez was recalled in a corresponding move.
Jul 4 2018Fedde's MRI revealed inflammation but no structural damage in his right shoulder, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Fedde said that he was encouraged by the news but he will need to take a few days off, which could warrant a short stay on the disabled list. The right-hander was forced to leave Wednesday's game in the second inning after experiencing a dip in velocity.
Jul 4 2018Fedde was removed from his start Wednesday against the Red Sox in the second inning with an undisclosed injury, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports. He retired three of the five batters he faced before departing.The source of Fedde's injury isn't yet known and may not be established until after a post-game examination, but the right-hander was in visible discomfort after tossing his 25th and final pitch of the afternoon. According to Castillo, Fedde opened the start with a sinker that sat around 93-to-94 miles per hour before the offering dipped into the 80s by the second inning, suggesting an arm issue could be in play. Matt Grace was summoned in relief of Fedde and will likely cover the bulk of the innings for the Nationals with only six other relievers available in the Washington bullpen following the demotion of Tim Collins prior to the contest.
Jul 4 2018Fedde left Wednesday's start with right shoulder stiffness and is undergoing an MRI, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.The Nats wasted no time in sending Fedde for an MRI after Fedde experienced a noticeable dip in velocity from the first to the second inning. He threw 25 pitches in total, allowing two hits while recording three outs before being lifted. Matt Grace threw four scoreless innings in relief of Fedde (46 pitches) and could make a spot start early next week with Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) still working his way back.
Jun 29 2018Fedde (1-3) picked up the win in Friday's 17-7 victory over the Phillies, giving up five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings while striking out three.An offensive explosion by the Nats ensured that Fedde would get his first major-league win despite a rough performance from the 25-year-old. He'll take a 6.00 ERA into his next outing Wednesday at home against the Red Sox, but with Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) now throwing off a mound, Fedde's time with the Nats could be nearing its end.
Jun 23 2018Fedde (0-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks over six-plus innings while striking out three as the Nationals fell 5-3 to the Phillies.The rookie got staked to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but Fedde immediately handed it back by giving up a two-spot in the top of the second. Then after giving up a leadoff double in the seventh, he got the hook and had to watch as a groundball and sac fly brought the runner home. The 25-year-old still delivered his first career quality start, but his 5.32 ERA will make him a risky fantasy play in a rematch with the Phillies back in Philadelphia on Friday.
Jun 18 2018Fedde (0-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks across 5.1 innings en route to a loss Monday against the Yankees. He struck out four.Fedde was touched up for a run in the first inning, but he settled down and coasted into the fifth before allowing a two-run home run to Aaron Hicks. He came back out for the sixth but was removed after allowing a one-out single, with his pitch count sitting at 97. Given the opportunity to start due to Monday's unorthodox schedule, Fedde wasn't particularly impressive in any respect and still holds a 5.63 ERA. That said, he's expected to remain in the rotation for the time being and should face the Phillies this weekend.
Jun 17 2018Fedde has been confirmed as the starter by manager Dave Martinez for Monday's full game against the Yankees, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Fedde was one out shy of a quality start in his first appearance back on May 23, but didn't fare quite as well in his last start June 13, surrendering four earned runs across six innings against a dangerous Yankee lineup. He gave up long balls to Greg Bird and Gleyber Torres in that effort, but the Nationals were ultimately able to come back and pick up the win. He'll face that same Yankee lineup Monday, but regardless of outcome, appears likely to remain in the rotation until Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) returns from the DL.
Jun 13 2018Fedde didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings while striking out three.The right-hander threw 55 of 87 pitches for strikes but caught too much of the plate at times, as both Greg Bird and Gleyber Torres took him deep. Fedde now has a 5.91 ERA but a promising 9:2 K:BB through 10.2 innings in two big-league starts this season, and with neither Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) nor Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring) likely to be ready to come off the disabled list this week, the rookie will likely get another turn through the rotation, lining him up for a rematch against the Yankees back in Washington on Monday.
Jun 12 2018Fedde will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start against the Yankees on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Fedde allowed three runs over 5.2 innings during his season debut for the Nationals on May 23, and will return to the majors Wednesday for start No. 2. The 25-year-old has a 4.76 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 61 strikeouts across 56.2 innings at Syracuse this season.
May 24 2018Fedde was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse Thursday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.Fedde made a spot start Wednesday for Washington, tossing 5.2 innings and allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six. Following his decent outing, he'll head down to Triple-A. The Nationals are expected to make a corresponding move in the near future.
May 23 2018Fedde was called up to the Nationals Wednesday and will start as scheduled against the Padres, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.Fedde had a poor showing in his first taste of big-league action last season, recording a 9.39 ERA and allowing five homers in three starts. He'll get a relatively easy assignment Wednesday, facing a Padres offense that ranks 26th by wRC+. In a corresponding move, Carlos Torres was designated for assignment.
May 23 2018Fedde (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings against the Padres.Fedde allowed just one run over the first four innings, but the Padre lineup started getting to him the second and third time through the order. The 25-year-old ranks as one of Washington's top prospects, but Wednesday's outing was always planned to be a spot start rather than a prolonged promotion. It's possible he'll end up getting another turn through the rotation with Jeremy Hellickson forced out of his most recent start with a blister, though no official word has come down on that front.
Apr 21 2018Fedde tossed five scoreless innings Friday for Triple-A Syracuse in a win over Louisville, scattering two hits and a walk while striking out seven.The 25-year-old has had a strong start to the season, posting a 1.80 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB through his first 15 innings. The Nats remain high on the 2014 first-round pick as a potential rotation piece, and with A.J. Cole now off the 40-man roster and potentially headed out of the organization entirely after being designed for assignment, Fedde would be the next man up the next time the Nats need to call up a starting pitcher.
Mar 19 2018Fedde is expected to open the season in the Triple-A Syracuse rotation, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Fedde remains in contention for the final spot in the Washington rotation and has generally looked solid in the Grapefruit League with a 2.84 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 12.2 innings, but the fact that he still has minor-league options remaining works to his detriment. On the other hand, A.J. Cole, Fedde's top competitor for the No. 5 starter's role, has no options remaining, a reality that general manager Mike Rizzo acknowledged would likely lock Cole into an Opening Day roster spot as a member of the rotation or a long reliever, per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports. Jeremy Hellickson isn't on track to be ready for the start of the season after first signing a minor-league deal with the Nationals on Friday, but could ultimately vie for the No. 5 gig once he builds up his arm, creating another obstacle for Fedde to stick with the big club.
Mar 11 2018Fedde allowed one run on two hits and two walks over three innings while striking out three in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.Facing what almost looked like it could be Houston's Opening Day lineup, the 25-year-old rung up Carlos Correa to end the first inning before running into a bit of trouble in the third after a leadoff walk to Max Stassi. The battle for the Nats' fifth starter spot appears to be down to Fedde or A.J. Cole at this point, and while Cole still seems to be in the lead, either one could lock it up with a big finish to the spring.
Mar 1 2018Fedde was throwing in the mid-90s during his Grapefruit League debut Monday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.The forearm issue which shut him down in early September last season and sapped the life on his fastball no longer seems to be a problem for the 25-year-old. Fedde is competing this spring with A.J. Cole, Edwin Jackson and Tommy Milone for the Nats' fifth starter job, and while Cole is considered the nominal favorite at the moment, Fedde has the highest ceiling of the bunch. If he shows he can be healthy and effective over the next few weeks, he could leapfrog his more experienced teammates to claim the spot.
Feb 25 2018Fedde (forearm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Braves, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.Fedde has faced no reported limitations in the spring after he was shut down last September with a right forearm flexor strain, but that didn't stop the Nationals from waiting a few days to integrate him into the Grapefruit League schedule, likely for precautionary reasons. With Fedde's health on seemingly solid ground, he should get a fair opportunity to battle for the No. 5 starter role, assuming the front office doesn't look to the free-agent pool or trade market to bolster the back end of the rotation. After providing middling numbers at Triple-A Syracuse and getting tagged for 16 earned runs over 15.1 innings in three spot starts in the big leagues a season ago, Fedde is probably best served returning to the upper minors to begin the 2018 campaign, but the new coaching staff will see what the 25-year-old is able to do in the spring before determining his fate.
Nov 4 2017Fedde (forearm) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday.Fedde only appeared in three big-league contests this past season, and was shut down in early September while dealing with a right forearm flexor strain. Looking ahead, he should be completely healed and ready to vie for a spot in the Nationals' rotation next spring.
Sep 7 2017Fedde (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Thursday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.This is simply procedural, as Fedde has already been shut down for the remainder of the season with a right forearm flexor strain. The move opens up a spot for top prospect Victor Robles to join the big club. Fedde will turn his focus to getting healthy and competing for a rotation spot in 2018.
Sep 4 2017Fedde was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right forearm flexor strain, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.It's unclear when the issue cropped up, but it could help explain why he was bypassed for Monday's start. He's still without a timetable for his return at this point, and it's unclear if he'll be able to pitch before the season ends. A.J. Cole, who will start Monday's game against the Marlins, was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
Sep 4 2017Fedde won't start Monday's game against the Marlins and will instead remain available out of the bullpen, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Fedde was considered a candidate to start Monday with manager Dusty Baker wanting to build an extra day of rest for the Nationals' starting staff, but the Washington bench boss ultimately decided to go with A.J. Cole for the spot start. It's hard to argue with the decision, as Cole had vastly outperformed Fedde in their previous starting opportunities with the big club this season. Fedde, who has submitted a 9.39 ERA and 2.15 WHIP across 15.1 innings with the Nationals this season, is expected to serve in a lower-leverage relief role throughout September.
Sep 4 2017Fedde, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, will be shut down for the rest of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Fedde landed on the disabled list with a right forearm flexor strain, and while a clean MRI indicated the injury would likely force him to miss just a start or two, the Nats decided to play it safe and end his season early anyway. The 24-year-old climbed from Double-A Harrisburg all the way to the majors this season, and while he struggled in a trio of spot starts, he's expected to compete for a rotation spot in 2018.
Sep 1 2017Fedde was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.Fedde was an option to start for the Nationals this weekend against the Brewers, but the club has already set its rotation, so he will step into a bullpen role for now. Fedde started three games for Washington earlier this season, and with the club owning a 15-game lead in the AL East as September begins, he could be used in that role again as the Nationals set up their rotation for the postseason.
Aug 31 2017Fedde is the most likely candidate to make a spot start Saturday against the Brewers, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Max Scherzer had his next outing pushed back to Sunday to afford him -- and the rest of the Nats rotation -- a bit of extra rest, creating the need for a spot starter. Fedde has an ugly 9.39 ERA in three big-league start this season, but with A.J. Cole not yet eligible to rejoin the active roster after he was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Fedde seems like the only other option.
Aug 27 2017Fedde allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks across six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Mets. He struck out five.All five runs on Fedde's ledger came via the long ball -- a three-run home run by Asdrubal Cabrera in the first inning and a two-run shot by Wilmer Flores in the third. He loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth inning but was able to battle out of the jam with no further damage done. One of the top pitching prospects in the Nationals system, Fedde has struggled at the big league level this season, posting an unsightly 9.39 ERA through 15.1 innings. He is not currently scheduled to make another start with the Nationals and should head back to Triple-A Syracuse in short order.
Aug 27 2017Fedde was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will start Game 1 of the Nationals' doubleheader Sunday against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.The Nationals are designating Fedde as their 26th man for the twin bill, meaning he'll likely head back to Syracuse following the spot start. Due to the fact the Nationals were playing six games in five days, Fedde was only temporarily needed to fill an opening in the rotation, but he'll rank near the top of the list of replacements if another starting pitcher should succumb to an injury in the final few weeks of the season. Fedde has previously made two starts for the big club, giving up 11 runs on 18 hits and six walks over 9.1 innings.
Aug 25 2017Fedde is an option to pitch one game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Tanner Roark will start one of the games, and if Max Scherzer's neck is feeling better he's the Nats' first choice to take the mound for the other. If Scherzer's return is delayed, however, Fedde is the most likely option to be called up for a spot start as he hasn't pitched for Triple-A Syracuse since Aug. 21. The team's No. 6 fantasy prospect got rocked in his initial introduction to the majors, but he hasn't let it affect him since his demotion, giving Syracuse two straight quality starts with a 10:2 K:BB in 13 innings.
Aug 6 2017Fedde surrendered four runs on eight hits with four walks and seven strikeouts over 5.1 innings during Sunday's no-decision against the Cubs.Washington's offense got Fedde off the hook, but the rookie fill-in once again failed to impress after losing in his first start. He now owns a 10:6 K:BB in 9.1 innings while surrendering 18 hits over that span. Expect the 2014 first rounder to be sent back to Triple-A Syracuse when Gio Gonzalez comes off the paternity list later this week.
Aug 5 2017Fedde was called up from Triple-A Syracuse in advance of his start against the Cubs on Sunday, The Washington Post's Jorge Castillo reports.Fedde will fill in for Gio Gonzalez, who was placed on the paternity list Saturday. During his one start with the big-league club earlier this week, Fedde got rocked by Colorado, giving up seven earned runs off 10 hits and a pair of walks while striking out three in four innings. But the right-hander has been pitching well with Syracuse lately, posting a 2.88 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 25 innings since the beginning of June.
Jul 30 2017Fedde (0-1) allowed seven runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings during Sunday's loss to Colorado.This was a tough spot for Fedde, as he had made just four starts at the Triple-A level and sported a 5.57 ERA through 10 appearances with Syracuse this season. He'll probably return to the minors in short order, and until he shows better form in the lower levels, he's off the fantasy radar in the majority of settings.
Jul 30 2017Fedde was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in advance of his scheduled start for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rockies, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.Fedde will temporarily enter the Nationals' rotation in place of Stephen Strasburg, who was forced to the 10-day disabled list earlier this week with an elbow injury. Strasburg was able to complete a bullpen session Saturday without any setbacks, so Fedde may only be in store for a one-start assignment in his first taste of the big leagues. The 24-year-old has submitted a 5.57 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 21 innings in his four starts at Triple-A since being promoted from Double-A Harrisburg in mid-June.
Jul 26 2017Fedde will likely be called up to replace the injured Stephen Strasburg for Saturday's start against the Rockies, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.Fedde was Washington's 2014 first round pick and is now their top pitching prospect. He has appeared just four times at Triple-A, with a 5.57 ERA that is inflated by a brutal first start in which he allowed six runs before recording an out. Fedde owned a sharp 3.04 ERA with 54 strikeouts in 56.1 innings at Double-A Harrisburg. As Fedde won't be starting until Saturday, the Nationals may wait a few days to make the official roster move.
Jul 26 2017Fedde will start Saturday in place of the injured Stephen Strasburg, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports Wednesday.Baker confirmed Fedde would get the call-up at the same time he announced Strasburg would be placed on the 10-day disabled list. Strasburg is expected to miss just one start, so Fedde's stay could be brief. The club has expressed concern about Fedde's innings this season, so it's hard to imagine him settling into the rotation long term no matter what happens with Strasburg. It's unclear when the Nationals will make the official roster move, as they could decide to bring up an extra bullpen arm until Fedde is needed.
Jul 4 2017Fedde got the start Monday for Triple-A Syracuse but failed to record an out, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks in a loss to Buffalo.Ouch. The Nationals experimented with Fedde as a reliever this season in an effort to control his innings and position him for a promotion to the majors if he took to the role, but the team has apparently decided to pull the plug on that experiment and develop the 24-year-old as a starter once again. He hadn't pitched in a week and the shifting instructions can't have helped his focus, so don't read too much into the one extremely bad outing. Fedde remains the top pitching prospect in the organization.
Jun 13 2017Fedde was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.The Nationals' top pitching prospect responded well to his shift to the bullpen, compiling a 2.63 ERA and 19:4 K:BB through 13.2 innings with Double-A before being rewarded with a promotion. It appears Fedde is inching closer to joining the big-league bullpen, and he could be up with the Nationals relatively soon depending on how he handles competition at Syracuse. He'll continue to be viewed as a starter long term, though.
Jun 6 2017Fedde has a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 10 innings over seven relief appearances since being moved to the bullpen with Double-A Harrisburg.After being scored upon in each of his first three relief outings, Fedde has settled into his new role nicely. The Nats' No. 4 prospect is a possible candidate to join the major-league bullpen later in the season, but the team still views him as a starter in the long term.
May 16 2017Fedde will operate as a relief pitcher with Double-A Harrisburg for the remainder of the season, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Fedde, one of the Nationals' top prospects, is off to a solid start with Double-A Harrisburg this season. The 24-year-old holds a 3.16 ERA over his first 42.2 innings with the minor-league club. Though the Nationals still view Fedde as a long-term starting pitcher, he'll make the move to the bullpen this season in order to limit his workload while potentially setting him up for an eventual promotion to the team's underperforming major-league bullpen.
