After losing his spot in the rotation, the veteran right-hander handled mop-up duty in Friday's 12-7 loss to the Mets, giving up six runs across 4.1 innings. It's a fitting end to Fedde's time in Atlanta, and he finished his run for the team with an 8.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 13:13 K:BB across 23.1 innings.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Mops up in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Fedde worked in long relief during Friday's 12-7 loss to the Mets, covering 4.1 innings and striking out one batter while allowing six earned runs on 11 hits and two walks.
After being acquired from the Cardinals on July 27, Fedde stepped into the Atlanta rotation but fared poorly over his four starts with the club, netting a 7.11 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB in 19 innings. With Atlanta claiming Cal Quantrill off waivers from Miami on Thursday and inserting him into the rotation Saturday, Fedde was moved to the bullpen for the weekend series and was put to work Friday after starter Joey Wentz was chased from the game midway through the fourth inning. Though he spared the rest of the bullpen from overuse, Fedde was knocked around during his 93-pitch appearance and is unlikely to see opportunities in high-leverage spots anytime soon.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Coughs up four runs
Rotowire
Fedde did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the Guardians. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over four innings while striking out five.
Fedde worked a perfect first inning before things started to go south. He loaded the bases in the second but escaped without giving up a run. The Guardians then plated a pair of runs in each of the third and fourth frames. Fedde has now made four starts with Atlanta and has given up at least three runs while failing to complete six innings in all four. That's resulted in a 7.11 ERA, driving his season ERA to 5.52 across 120.2 innings. Fedde is currently projected for a home matchup against the Mets next weekend.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Struggles but emerges with win
Rotowire
Fedde (4-12) earned the victory against Miami on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
It was far from a dominant performance by Fedde, who needed 102 pitches (only 60 of which were strikes) to get through five frames as he just barely qualified for the victory. The right-hander did at least hold Miami to one extra-base hit (a double), and he was scored upon in only one frame (the fourth, when the Marlins tallied all four of their runs and four of their five hits against him). Fedde's win was his first since May 9 versus Washington; in the interim, he went 0-9 with a 6.37 ERA. He's managed to keep a rotation spot among Atlanta's injury-ravaged starting staff regardless, and he's slated to next face Cleveland on the road.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Losing ways continue Monday
Rotowire
Fedde (3-12) took the loss Monday against Milwaukee, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Monday marked the third time in his last six starts that Fedde was unable to register a punchout. The veteran right-hander has thrown at least five innings on just two occasions over his last seven outings, during which he owns a ghastly 10.73 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 11:15 K:BB across 27.2 frames. Things may not get much easier for Fedde with a matchup at home versus the red-hot Marlins on tap for this weekend.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Penciled in to start Monday
Rotowire
Fedde is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Brewers in Atlanta, Olivia Sayer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Acquired from the Cardinals last Sunday, Fedde was called upon to fill one of the openings in an injury-plagued Atlanta rotation just two days later. In his team debut against the Royals on Tuesday, Fedde was dealt a loss while giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings, but the veteran right-hander will get at least one more opportunity to stake his claim to a more permanent stay in the rotation. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second appearance expected to come in one half of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Marlins.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Roughed up in Atlanta debut
Rotowire
Fedde (3-11) took the loss Tuesday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.
Making his first start since being acquired by Atlanta, Fedde struggled to settle in, surrendering all four of his runs across the first two innings, including a solo home run to Vinnie Pasquantino in the opening frame. Fedde now owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 66:49 K:BB across 106.1 innings this season. The 32-year-old will aim for a sharper outing in his next turn through the rotation, scheduled for early next week against Milwaukee.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Team debut coming Tuesday
Rotowire
Fedde will start Tuesday against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium in his Atlanta debut.
Fedde was acquired from the Cardinals via trade Sunday to help supplement a rotation that's been decimated by injuries. The right-hander had been designated for assignment by St. Louis after he was torched for 26 earned runs with an 8:11 K:BB over his last 17.2 innings.

Braves' Erick Fedde: Dealt to Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta acquired Fedde from St. Louis on Sunday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Fedde has found a new home after being designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Wednesday, joining an Atlanta squad that's seen its starting pitching depth get decimated by injuries in recent weeks. The right-hander owns an inflated 5.22 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 101.2 innings in 20 starts on the season, and he had struggled mightily over his final five outings with the Cardinals, giving up 26 earned runs to go with an 8:11 K:BB in 17.2 innings. Atlanta transferred Grant Holmes (elbow) to the 60-day injured list to clear room on the 40-man roster for Fedde, who could immediately slot into Atlanta's rotation during the upcoming week.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: DFA'd by St. Louis
Rotowire
The Cardinals designated Fedde for assignment Wednesday.
Fedde had been pummeled for 26 runs while posting an 8:11 K:BB over 17.2 innings over his last five starts, bringing his ERA up to 5.22 on the season. The veteran right-hander is likely to clear waivers and eventually become a free agent, with the Cardinals remaining on the hook for what's left of his $7.5 million salary. Michael McGreevy will replace Fedde in the St. Louis rotation.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Rotation spot in question
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol and pitching coach Dusty Blake planned to discuss Fedde's status in the rotation Tuesday after the righty struggled again in a loss to the Rockies, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fedde was rocked for six runs on seven hits and one walk over three innings against the Rockies and holds a 9.64 ERA and 2.04 WHIP since June 13. The Cardinals had been hoping Fedde could right the ship and boost his trade value before the deadline, but at this point they would seem to have no choice but to replace him in the rotation with Michael McGreevy. The club should reveal its plans for Fedde in the coming days.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Struggles continue in 10th loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over three innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.
The right-hander had a chance to bounce back against a struggling Rockies lineup but was instead tagged for damage, including home runs by Mickey Moniak and Ryan McMahon. Fedde is in the middle of a rough stretch, going 0-5 with a 9.64 ERA and 2.04 WHIP over 28 innings across seven starts since June 13. While he could still be a buy-low option for a contender at the trade deadline, his recent struggles have significantly diminished his potential trade value.
Fedde allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.
Fedde struggled from the outset, serving up two solo homers and three total runs over the first two innings. He settled down a bit thereafter but couldn't complete five frames, as he was pulled with two runners on base and two outs in the fourth. Fedde has struggled mightily over his past four starts, giving up 20 runs and surrendering six long balls over 14.2 innings during that stretch. The Cardinals were said to be considering removing the right-hander from the rotation in favor of Michael McGreevy following his previous start, and Fedde's tepid performance Saturday gives St. Louis further reason to move in that direction.
Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Staying in rotation for now
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Fedde will start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The Cardinals mulled replacing Fedde in the rotation with Michael McGreevy, but they've decided to give the former at least one more start. Fedde has been pummeled for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts and will be on a short leash moving forward.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Penciled in for Saturday for now
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Fedde is tentatively scheduled to start Saturday versus Atlanta, but the team is "still working through conversations" regarding Fedde's spot in the rotation, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Fedde has been torched for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts, and the Cardinals are considering replacing him in the rotation with Michael McGreevy. A decision regarding who will slot in Saturday against Atlanta should be announced within the next few days.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Next start undetermined
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was noncommittal when asked Sunday whether Fedde would make his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday versus Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "I think we have to use [Monday] as a day we take a step back and figure out what that looks like," Marmol said, regarding his plans for the rotation.
Fedde was charged with three earned runs on two hits and four walks while recording only four outs in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. He's been clobbered for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts. Michael McGreevy started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis and would likely be the replacement in the rotation for Fedde if the Cardinals decide to make a change.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Pulled early Sunday
Rotowire
Fedde (3-9) allowed three runs on two hits and four walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.
Fedde needed 53 pitches (26 strikes) to get the four outs. After giving up seven runs in each of his last two outings, it looks like Fedde was on a short leash for this one. He's also walked nine batters over his last 10 innings, and his BB/9 on the year is at 4.3 through 18 starts. Fedde will have trouble getting things back on track if he continues to issue such a high number of free passes. He's added a 4.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 57:45 K:BB across 94 innings this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus Atlanta.
