Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde threw five innings of scoreless baseball in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the Twins in the first game of a doubleheader. The righty allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five on his way to earning his seventh win of the season. The renaissance of Fedde continues after spending a season in the KBO, as the 31-year-old is now 7-3 with a 2.99 ERA (3.54 FIP), 1.13 WHIP, and a 15.1% K-BB%. A key element of his success has been keeping the ball in the yard, with a 9.2% HR/FB% this season as compared to a career rate of 16.2%. The former first-round draft pick's next start would come against the Royals after the All-Star break, a team he's seen twice already this season, throwing a combined 10 2/3 innings, allowing one earned run on nine hits and five walks along with nine strikeouts.
Erick Fedde Shuts Down Nationals In Game 2 Tuesday

Fedde pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and no walks with six strikeouts. The 31-year-old has enjoyed success in his MLB return this season, going 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA, an 8.65 K/9 rate, and a 2.42 BB/9 rate in nine starts and 52 IP. He will have a chance to continue his hot streak in his next scheduled start at the scuffling Blue Jays.
Erick Fedde Tosses Six Shutout Innings Against Guardians
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde had a solid outing against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, tossing six innings of shutout ball and earning the win in a 3-2 victory. Fedde allowed six hits while walking none and striking out three. Although the whiffs weren't there for the righty in this one, he was able to control his pitches much better than last outing, where he walked five. It was a step in the right direction for Fedde, but he will have to continue to have these strong performances to become a must-start fantasy option.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde was sharp on the mound during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander threw 8 1/3 innings while allowing seven hits and two earned runs during the 4-2 win. Fedde struck out nine batters during this game to build his season total to 39 strikeouts. The assumption is that the right-hander is going to regress, but for the time being he holds a strong 2.20 ERA over six starts. Fantasy managers in need of pitching help should look at Fedde.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde suffered a tough luck no-decision on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Fedde tossed six innings for a quality start and allowed three hits, one run, no walks and struck out a career-high 11 batters. Unfortunately for Fedde, his hard work went to waste as the White Sox bullpen blew a big lead and eventually the game. Despite the White Sox having a very tough season, Fedde has been one of the lone bright spots and boasts a respectable 2.73 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP in his first five starts. Fedde won't get many wins for managers, but he can help in other categories. He is worth a look with his next matchup coming against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde recorded the win in the second game of Wednesday's twin bill against the division-rival Kansas City Royals, striking out five over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in the 2-1 victory. Fedde gave up three hits and three walks, and the ChiSox scratched a run during the fourth inning to help get Fedde his first win of the 2024 season. The 31-year-old right-hander has a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 19:5 K:BB across 20 1/3 innings (four starts) so far this year. Fedde's next start is scheduled to come at Target Field on Tuesday against ace Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins, when he'll be worthy of streaming consideration in fantasy baseball versus an injury-riddled offense that's scored the third-fewest runs (58) in baseball through 17 games.
Erick Fedde Good To Go After Taking Comebacker Off Quad
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde took a line drive off his leg in his Spring Training start on Sunday, but shook it off and was able to continue. Fedde said after the game that it is a minor contusion and he will be good to go for his first start of the regular season next Sunday. The 31-year-old had a decent spring, pitching to a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with eight strikeouts in 14 IP. He should be a good stop-gap for a White Sox team lacking in the pitching department. He might be a decent streamer on two-start weeks, but don't count on him for much.
Free-agent right-hander Erick Fedde and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal on Tuesday, according to sources. The 30-year-old went 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, where he was named the MVP in 2023. He will now make his way back overseas to the big leagues. Fedde made his MLB debut in 2017 with the Washington Nationals and spent six years in D.C., going 21-33 with a 5.41 ERA (5.17 FIP) and 1.52 WHIP in 454 1/3 innings over 102 outings (88 starts). The rebuilding White Sox had a need for starting pitchers on the cheap this offseason, so Fedde will get a chance to re-establish his value in the majors. He'll be in a good spot to make some noise as a sleeper candidate in the weak American League Central division.
The Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets appear to be the top two teams interested in free-agent starting pitcher Erick Fedde, MLB's Mark Feinsand reported Monday. The 30-year-old is coming off a fabulous 2023 season with KBO's NC Dinos, going 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 29.5% strikeout rate. A deal, which is expected to be in the two-year, $10 million range, could be finalized by Tuesday. Fedde was once an MLB prospect with the Washington Nationals but compiled a lackluster 5.41 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 17.5% strikeout rate over 102 appearances (88 starts). While he did just take home the Most Valuable Player Award for KBO, fantasy managers may want to be cautious with trusting Fedde should he return to the big leagues.
Free agent pitcher Erick Fedde is weighing offers from clubs from both the KBO and MLB. It was reported earlier in the month MLB clubs were showing interest in Fedde who recently was named the KBO's MVP after a dominant season with the NC Dinos while the club is reportedly ready to put its best foot forward to bring the right-hander back for at least one more season. Fedde worked to a tidy 2.30 ERA across 30 starts with the Dinos in 2023, striking out 209 across 180 1/3 innings while going 20-6 on the campaign. A former first-round pick of the Nationals, Fedde owns a career 5.41 ERA in parts of six seasons in the big leagues but saw massive improvements in both his strikeout and walk rates in his lone season overseas to this point.
