Fedde (1-2) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Braves after surrendering nine runs on nine hits across 3.2 innings. He struck out four and walked four.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was recalled ahead of Tuesday's start and delivered his worst outing of the season by a considerable margin. The 26-year-old has a 4.67 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 30:25 K:BB over 54 innings this season, and he could be headed back to the minors since Max Scherzer (back) is eligible to return from the injured list before the Nationals will again require a fifth starter.

Fedde was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Max Scherzer (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, allowing Fedde to rejoin the Nationals less than a week after his most recent demotion to the minors. According to Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post, the 26-year-old Fedde -- who last pitched Wednesday -- will start in place of Scherzer on Tuesday. In eight starts with the big club this season, the right-hander owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 19:17 K:BB in 39.2 innings.

Fedde did not factor into the decision after pitching four innings in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits while striking out two and walking two. He was optioned immediately following the game, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde didn't go deep in the game but kept his team in a contest which the Nats would eventually win. The outing brought his season ERA down to 3.40 in 50.1 innings, but his 12.6 percent strikeout rate casts some doubt on the sustainability of that number and limits his fantasy upside. Raudy Read was recalled in a corresponding move.

Fedde has been confirmed as the starting pitcher for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was initially slated to take the mound Monday evening, but Mother Nature had other ideas, so his outing has been moved to Wednesday as a result. Patrick Corbin will start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Fedde won't make his scheduled start Monday against the Rockies, as the game has been postponed due to rain, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was set to receive at least one more turn in the rotation after holding the Orioles to just one run over six innings in his last outing, but he won't take the mound Monday evening. The Nationals have yet to reveal their pitching plans for the rest of the week, but Fedde could take the mound Tuesday.

Fedde is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

After being called up from Double-A Harrisburg to start in a game against the Orioles, Fedde initially appeared as though he might be bound for a return trip to the minors after the outing. However, with Max Scherzer (back) failing to progress as expected and fifth starter Austin Voth (biceps) joining the ace on the injured list, Fedde will stick in the rotation for at least one more turn. He'll look to build on his strong showing in Baltimore, where he limited the Orioles to one run over six innings while allowing five hits and no walks.

Fedde didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Orioles, allowing one run on five hits over six innings while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was in line for his second win of the season after only Trey Mancini was able to solve him for a solo shot in the fourth inning, but the Nats bullpen reverted to its early-season form instead. Fedde's 3.50 ERA through 46.1 big-league innings looks solid but his 24:19 K:BB leaves a lot to be desired, and he'll likely return to the minors with Max Scherzer (back) on track to rejoin the rotation this weekend.

Fedde was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg ahead of his scheduled start against the Orioles on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fedde will join the big-league rotation for a spot start with Max Scherzer (back) on the shelf. In 11 appearances with the Nationals this season (six starts), Fedde owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 22:19 K:BB in 40.1 innings. Adrian Sanchez was sent to the minors in a corresponding move.

Fedde will be recalled from Triple-A Fresno to start Wednesday against the Orioles, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fedde will join the big-league squad and take the hill for the series finale in Baltimore. With Fedde getting the nod Wednesday, Stephen Strasburg is now in line to start Thursday's contest in Atlanta.

Fedde was scratched from his scheduled start Monday with Double-A Harrisburg, signaling that he could be called up to join the Nationals and make a start as soon as Wednesday in Baltimore, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to an off day Monday, the Nationals won't need a new fifth starter to fill in for the injured Max Scherzer (back) until Saturday in Atlanta, but Zuckerman's report suggests the team likely won't wait that long to find a replacement for the ace. Even if Scherzer returns from the 10-day injured list to start when first eligible Saturday, Washington is apparently leaning toward using a new starter Sunday in that scenario rather than having rotation member Austin Voth take the hill on his normal four days' rest. If Fedde is in fact added to the rotation, deploying him Wednesday might make the most sense so as not to keep him idle longer than he already has been. He hasn't pitched for the Nationals or in the minors since July 2.
