Erick Fedde Fantasy Stats

Free-agent pitcher Erick Fedde and the Chicago White Sox agreed on a one-year deal, pending a physical. The veteran saw some success in his return from the KBO in 2024, pitching to a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 14.0 percent K-BB%. However, he was unable to parlay that production into 2025. The 6-foot-4 hurler played for three different teams (Cardinals, Braves, Brewers) and registered an unsightly 5.49 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and just a 2.6 percent K-BB%. The former first-rounder tentatively slots in as the fifth starter, although he'll likely face competition for the job this spring from the team's top pitching prospects, Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, as well as another offseason acquisition, Sean Newcomb. Still just 32 years old, Fedde could have something left in the tank, but he's off the season-long fantasy radar for now.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was traded to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. This comes a few days after Fedde was designated for assignment by the Cardinals. After a solid season in 2024, Fedde completely fell apart on the mound this season. He holds a 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 63/47 K/BB ratio across 20 starts with the Cards in 2025. In exchange, the Cardinals will receive a player to be named later or cash considerations for Fedde. The Braves starting rotation has been crushed by injuries, so Fedde will at least give them a healthy arm.

The St. Louis Cardinals designated right-hander Erick Fedde for assignment on Wednesday and recalled right-hander Andre Granillo from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. For now, rookie Michael McGreevy will replace Fedde in St. Louis' rotation and make another start this weekend on Sunday against the San Diego Padres. Fedde gets the boot off St. Louis' roster after surrendering 26 runs with 11 walks and only eight strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings over his last five starts. He just was not effective enough in going 3-10 with a 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 63 strikeouts in 101 2/3 innings of work over his 20 starts. McGreevy doesn't have overpowering stuff and only has a 6.1 K/9 in 51 1/3 innings in the last two years, but he has held a 2.81 ERA in nine MLB outings (seven starts) dating back to last year.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde will remain in the starting rotation for at least one more start. There were discussions that Fedde would be moved out of the rotation after allowing 17 earned runs over his last three starts. Despite that, the Cardinals will give Fedde another shot against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. The right-hander was supposed to be a trade piece at the deadline, but that ship might've sailed at this point. Given his struggles, Fedde isn't a recommended streaming option for this weekend.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde allowed six hits and no runs over nine innings in Friday's 10-0 win over the Washington Nationals. The 32-year-old struck out eight batters and walked none in the first complete game and shutout of his MLB career. It was easily the best start of the season for him and marked the first time he'd punched out more than four batters. Fedde hammered in 68 of 109 pitches for strikes and had previously not gone longer than six innings in any outing. The Las Vegas native scattered six hits (one double) and allowed no runs for the second time in 2025. He'll have a much tougher task in his next start, which projects to come on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies early next week. Despite the dominant showing against Washington, he'll be difficult to trust moving forward.

Offense was hard to come by on both sides in Wednesday's series finale at PNC Park between the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates in a game the Bucs ended up winning 2-1 in 13 innings. Cardinals right-hander Erick Fedde was dialed in but picked up a no-decision, tossing six hitless and scoreless innings while walking four and striking out two. The strong outing lowered the 32-year-old veteran's season ERA to 4.20, and he's now picked up quality starts in two of his first three outings on the year. It was a nice bounce-back performance for him after he was pummeled for six earned runs on five hits (two homers) for his first loss over three innings in his last outing on April 4 against the Boston Red Sox. However, Fedde has only fanned five in 15 innings pitched and will be a shaky fantasy option in his next scheduled outing next week against the visiting Houston Astros.

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde is drawing interest on the trade market. According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Dispatch, several teams believe the Cardinals are actively trying to find a trade partner for the 31-year-old. Throughout the offseason, the Cardinals have attempted to shed payroll. They decided to let Paul Goldschmidt test the open market and have had several discussions with teams about moving third baseman Nolan Arenado. Fedde will likely be moved sometime this season as he is set to enter free agency after the 2025 campaign. Last season, the right-hander posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP across 177 1/3 innings. He tallied 154 punchouts and allowed walks at a strong 7.2 percent rate. He is currently penciled to be the No. 2 option in the St. Louis starting rotation behind Sonny Gray.

According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, the St. Louis Cardinals are not expected to trade starting pitcher Erick Fedde before spring training. President of Baseball Operations, John Mozeliak, noted that while the team would like to continue increasing their financial flexibility, with spring training around the corner, the team would rather hold on to Fedde instead. However, trade talks will likely resume if the Cardinals fall out of playoff contention early in the summer. The 31-year-old opened the 2024 season with the Chicago White Sox before being shipped to St. Louis before the trade deadline. Across 177 1/3 innings, the right-hander posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. He struck out 154 batters with a 7.2% walk rate. Fantasy managers should expect Fedde to open the season as the No.2 option in the St. Louis rotation.

According to Mark Feinsand, Bryan Hoch, and John Denton of MLB.com, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitchers Erick Fedde and Steven Matz are gaining interest on the trade market from several clubs such as the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians. With the Cardinals looking to reshape their roster and shed payroll, moving these options could allow their younger starting pitchers to have more opportunities during the 2025 season. Fedde opened the 2024 season in Chicago but was dealt to the Cardinals at the trade deadline. Across 177 1/3 frames, the 31-year-old posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. Matz has battled injuries over the past two seasons and pitched only 44 1/3 frames last summer and posted a 5.08 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. If the Cardinals were to move one of these arms, this could create a path for their top pitching prospects, Tink Hence and Quinn Mathews, to spend most of the 2025 summer in the big leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde capped off his comeback season in dominant fashion in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Rockies, scattering six hits and one walk across seven innings while striking out 10 batters on the way to earning his ninth win of the 2024 campaign. With the Cardinals eliminated from playoff contention, Fedde finishes the season with a 9-9 record between Chicago and St. Louis, posting career-bests in ERA (3.38; 4.29 SIERA), WHIP (1.17), opponent batting average (.229), and total strikeouts (144). Fedde spent 2023 in the KBO with positive results, parlaying that success into a strong 2024 MLB season. The 31-year-old will look to keep rolling next season and should begin the year with a much more formidable offense behind him than he did when he began 2024 with the White Sox.
