Fedde allowed two hits and two walks over 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out three in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old kept himself firmly in the hunt for the Nats' No. 5 starter job with the solid outing. Fedde has posted a 2.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB through 7.1 innings this spring, but he might need Joe Ross to falter over the next couple weeks to win the open spot in the team's rotation.

Fedde allowed one unearned run on one hit and two walks while striking out two across 1.1 innings Sunday against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was scheduled to pitch two innings, but he was unable to reach that mark after needing 34 pitchers to retire four batters. He was pulled with the bases loaded after allowing a single and walking two in the second frame. Fedde is in competition this spring with Austin Voth and Joe Ross for the final spot in the team's rotation.

Fedde will be available out of the bullpen with Joe Ross (leg) remaining on schedule to start Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was questionable for Saturday's start after taking a comebacker off his leg during his previous outing, but he's been given the all clear. Fedde was the backup option if Ross proved to be unavailable, but he'll now work as a reliever. Fedde has a 4.31 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 38:29 K:BB over 71 innings this season.

Fedde will lose his rotation spot unless Joe Ross (leg) is unable to start Saturday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

We knew either Ross or Fedde would lose a rotation spot with Max Scherzer returning Thursday, and Fedde has lost that spot for now. However, with Ross questionable for his next start after getting hit by a comebacker Monday, Fedde has been told to prepare for that start in case Ross can't go.

Fedde (4-2) gave up four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out two through five innings to take the win against the Brewers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Given an early 13-run lead, Fedde allowed plenty of baserunners, but he managed to work his way out of trouble to get through five innings with the huge lead intact. Fedde has wins in each of his last three starts. The 26-year-old has a 4.31 ERA and a 38:29 K:BB through 12 starts this season. Max Scherzer is currently scheduled to return this week, so there is a chance that Fedde could be bumped from the rotation.

Fedde is scheduled to start Sunday against the Brewers, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was speculated that Max Scherzer (back) could have been ready to return during the weekend series against the Brewers, but that does not appear to be the case unless Scherzer's health improves ahead of the weekend. Once Scherzer is ready to return, it's unclear whether Fedde or Joe Ross will be bumped from the rotation, but Fedde will probably receive at least one more start.

Fedde (3-2) gave up two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four through six innings to take the win against the Reds on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde allowed a leadoff home run in the first inning and another run in the second, but threw four scoreless innings afterwards. Three of the last five outings for Fedde have been quality starts. Fedde has a 4.09 ERA through 16 appearances this season. Fedde will make his next start Monday against the Reds at Nationals Park.

Fedde is scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde fired six scoreless innings en route to picking up the win Monday against the Giants, a fine opening for what was expected to be a two-start week for the right-hander. Though Fedde had been lined up to start Sunday versus the Mets in New York, Anibal Sanchez will instead take the hill for his second start of the week after the Nationals elected to use Thursday's off day to reorder their pitching schedule.

Fedde (2-2) tossed six scoreless innings Monday, allowing six hits while striking out two batters and earning the win against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde badly needed a strong outing after getting torched for nine runs his last time out. This time around he let just one runner into scoring position and that happened to come from a Jeff Samardzija double. His ERA still sits at 4.20 with an unimpressive 32:25 K:BB over 60 frames. If he gets another turn in the rotation, Fedde will face the red-hot Mets in New York on Sunday.

Fedde is listed as the expected starter for Monday's game against the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde last started Tuesday and always lined up to pitch Monday in San Francisco, but it wasn't known if he would remain in the rotation with Mac Scherzer (back) eligible to come off the injured list. Scherzer looks as though he'll require more rehab time, providing Fedde with another start. The 26-year-old has a 4.67 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 30:25 K:BB over 54 innings this season.
