Fedde (COVID-19) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has been on the COVID-19 injured list since May 19 after testing positive for the virus, but he's been cleared to rejoin the team and will get back up to speed in the minors. Fedde has a 4.35 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 39.1 innings (eight starts) this season, though it's unclear whether he'll rejoin the rotation or move to the bullpen once activated.

Fedde (COVID-19) has been cleared to rejoin the Nationals for team activities Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde has been sidelined since May 19 after he tested positive for COVID-19, but he appears to be trending toward a return. Manager Dave Martinez said that Fedde will need to get stretched out following his absence, and the Nationals' skipper hasn't yet determined how the right-hander will be utilized once he returns, Maria Torres of The Athletic reports.

Fedde is on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday after testing positive for the virus, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old landed on the COVID IL earlier in the day, and teammate Max Scherzer said after the win over the Cubs that Fedde was the Nationals player who tested positive for the virus. Fedde's return could be hastened by the fact that he's received the vaccine, but he'll be unavailable for at least a brief period.

Fedde (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanner Rainey also landed on the COVID IL, with one of the two testing positive for the virus while the other is out for contact tracing, though it's unclear which player is managing the positive result. Fedde's status in the starting rotation was already shaky with Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) nearing his return from the injured list.

Fedde (3-4) shut down Arizona 3-0 Sunday, going seven innings and permitting three hits and two walks with four strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

This was Fedde's best start of the season and his first going more than six innings and allowing zero runs, although it may be his last with Stephen Strasburg's expected May 21st return. The encouraging outing lowered his ERA nearly a full run from 5.29 to 4.35.

Fedde (2-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings as the Nationals fell 6-2 to the Phillies. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander continues to struggle with his control and his command. Fedde has issued multiple walks in four straight starts and served up four homers in his last three, leaving him with a 5.29 ERA and 32:16 K:BB through 32.1 innings on the year. Barring a turnaround over the next couple weeks, Fedde remains the most likely candidate to lose their rotation spot when Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) is back.

Fedde (2-3) took the loss Wednesday, giving up five runs on five hits and two walks over five innings as the Nationals were downed 5-3 by Atlanta. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

All of Atlanta's runs scored on two homers, a Marcell Ozuna grand slam in the third inning and a William Contreras solo shot in the fourth. Fedde had only served up two home runs in five appearances coming into Wednesday, but the rough outing inflated his ERA to 5.27, although his 28:13 K:BB through 27.1 innings is solid. With Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) inching closer to a return, Fedde is running out of time to prove he deserves a spot in the rotation for the long haul.

Fedde (2-2) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up one run on two hits and three walks over six innings in an 8-2 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first quality start of the season for the right-hander, who tossed 98 pitches (59 strikes) and would have come away unscathed if not for a solo homer by Lourdes Gurriel in the fifth inning. Fedde will take a 4.43 ERA and 25:11 K:BB through 22.1 innings into his next outing.

Fedde (1-2) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings as the Nationals were downed 6-0 by the Mets. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander held the Mets off the board until the fifth inning, but with Jacob deGrom doing deGrom things opposite him, Fedde has no margin for error. The Nats' injury situation should keep him in the rotation a while longer despite a 5.51 ERA, but Fedde's 18:8 K:BB through 16.1 innings suggests he's been a bit unlucky. He'll next take the mound Wednesday on the road against the Blue Jays.

Fedde (1-1) earned the win Saturday against the Diamondbacks after allowing one run on five hits with nine strikeouts and one walk across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old pitched well for the second straight start after surrendering six runs (five earned) over 1.2 innings during his season debut. Fedde lines up to pitch next weekend against the Mets, though he could get bumped out of the rotation if Jon Lester (COVID-19 protocols) is cleared for his first start of the season.
