The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Erick Fedde (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with an oblique strain. The move is retroactive to Thursday. It's a big loss for the Nationals and fantasy managers, as Fedde was 4-4 with a 3.90 ERA in his 11 starts this season. He had thrown 21 straight scoreless innings before he allowed five runs in four innings to the Philadelphia Phillies in his start on Wednesday. Right-hander Andres Machado was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a ...

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde tossed seven shutout innings against the New York Mets on Friday. The 28-year-old allowed just two hits and four walks while striking out six in the 1-0 Nationals walk-off win. Fedde pushed his consecutive scoreless-innings streak to 20 and has been lights-out over his past three starts, lowering his ERA to 3.33 and earning two wins. The right-hander's emergence has been sorely needed for the Nationals with aces Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg...

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde tossed five shutout innings and earned the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants. It was the second scoreless outing in a row for Fedde, as he allowed just four hits while striking out seven in the victory. Fedde has looked good over his last three starts, posting a 1.59 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 17 innings of work. He's looking to be a solid streaming option in most formats right now, and if he keeps this up he could be ...

Washington Nationals pitchers Erick Fedde and Tanner Rainey were placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday night, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic. Fedde and Rainey are the two players involved in the earlier report of a Nationals player testing positive for COVID-19 and another being deemed a close contact, but there has been no identification of which player was the one to test positive. Rainey is one of the Nationals relievers who would potentially be in line for saves if ...

The Washington Nationals are considering the possibility of going with a six-man rotation when Stephen Strasburg is activated from the injured list, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post. Erick Fedde is starting for Washington on Sunday, which lines up with Strasburg's rehab start and allows for the possibility of Strasburg to take Fedde's spot in the rotation the next time out. Dougherty said it seems likely Fedde will move to the bullpen when Strasburg returns, but manager Dave...

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde had one of the best starts of his career Saturday, pitching five innings of one-run ball against the Arizona Diamondbacks with nine strikeouts. He allowed one run, a homer, on five hits with just one walk on 95 pitches. Arizona swung and missed 10 times. Fedde is capable of this kind of start, for example six innings of a one-hit shutout against the Marlins last September. However, they are too few and far between; he entered the start with a ...

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde did not make it out of the second inning in his first start of 2021 on Wednesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits in 1 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out one. The only positive was that he did not allow a home run. Fedde only started because the team is short a couple starting pitchers after last week's coronavirus outbreak, and today's performance obviously changes nothing. He was a solid prospect at one point but those ...

Washington Nationals starter Erick Fedde allowed one hit across six scoreless innings during Game 1 of the team's doubleheader versus the Miami Marlins. He struck out six batters while issuing two walks. Fedde's record improved to 2-3 with the victory to go along with a 4.36 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 23/21 K/BB. His lack of strikeouts keep him from being a worthwhile fantasy asset, but he has had back-to-back decent outings. He is a mid-tier streaming option in his next projected start against the ...
