Fedde will start Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed four runs in 4.2 innings against the Phillies on Tuesday, and he'll start on short rest Saturday as the Nationals attempt to sort out their rotation plans after trading away Jon Lester and acquiring Josiah Gray. Across his last six starts, Fedde has put up an 8.53 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 25.1 innings.

Fedde gave up four runs on eight hits and a walk over 4.2 innings during Tuesday's 6-4 win at Philadelphia. He had four strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was staked an early 6-1 lead but was unable to qualify for the victory when he was pulled during the fifth inning after allowing two runs on three hits. Fedde posted a 3.33 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 10 starts this season, but he's struggled over his past six outings with an 8.53 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Regardless of the downward trend, his rotation spot appears relatively secure with Stephen Strasburg (neck) heading for season-ending surgery and Max Scherzer attracting significant trade interest ahead of Friday's deadline.

Fedde allowed one run (none earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings Wednesday against the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was crushed for six runs across just 1.1 innings in his last outing, but rebounded to turn a solid effort Wednesday. He relied primarily on keeping the ball in the infield, as nine of his 18 outs came via the ground ball. The only true trouble he found himself in came in the fourth inning, when he loaded the bases with no outs. However, he avoided major damage by inducing a double play to stymie the rally. Fedde now has a 4.88 ERA with a 64:34 K:BB across 72 innings on the season.

Fedde (4-7) took the loss Friday versus San Diego. He allowed six runs on three hits and four walks with one strikeout in 1.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde ran into trouble when five of the first seven batters he faced reached base in the first inning (three singles, one walk, one fielder's choice). In the second, his control disappeared with three walks, and relieved Andres Machado allowed all three inherited runners to score in what ended up being a historic effort from San Diego's offense. Fedde now has a 5.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 60:33 K:BB across 66 innings in 14 starts. His spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy when Stephen Strasburg (neck) or Joe Ross (elbow) can return from the injured list. For now, Fedde projects for a home start versus Miami next week.

Fedde (4-6) took the loss in Sunday's 3-1 loss at the hands of the Giants, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde calmed down after permitting seven of 11 baserunners in the game's first two innings, allowing all three runs on a Curt Casali three-run shot in the second. He concludes the first half with a 4-6 record in 13 starts with a 4.59 ERA.

Fedde (4-5) allowed six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Padres on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde made his return to the rotation after missing a little time while on the 10-day injured list for a mild oblique strain. The 28-year-old held the Padres scoreless over the first three innings but served up a three-run blast to Wil Myers in the fourth and was charged with three more runs in the fifth while managing to only record one out. He owns a 4.53 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB over 59.2 innings and is projected to make a final start against the Giants over the weekend before heading into the All-Star break.

Fedde (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde's last start before the injury was June 23, when he was shelled for five runs on six hits, two of which were homers, and three walks and in four innings. The righty will take his 3.90 ERA into a tough matchup in San Diego.

Fedde (oblique) recently completed a bullpen session and will play catch Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the injured list with an oblique strain June 27, but he may not face a lengthy absence given he was only briefly shut down from throwing. Fedde doesn't have an official timeline for his return but is eligible to be activated from the injured list this weekend.

Fedde (oblique) played catch from 120 feet Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the injured list with an oblique strain over the weekend, but he wasn't shut down from throwing for long. Fedde remains without an official timeline for his return, though his quick return to throwing is a good early sign.

Fedde was placed on the injured list Sunday with an oblique strain, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde last pitched Wednesday, allowing five runs in four innings during a no-decision against the Phillies. It's not clear when or how the right-hander injured his oblique, but he figures to be headed for a multi-week absence. Reliever Andres Machado was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding roster move, and the Nationals have yet to announce who will start in place of Fedde on Monday against the Mets.
