Fedde was throwing in the mid-90s during his Grapefruit League debut Monday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forearm issue which shut him down in early September last season and sapped the life on his fastball no longer seems to be a problem for the 25-year-old. Fedde is competing this spring with A.J. Cole, Edwin Jackson and Tommy Milone for the Nats' fifth starter job, and while Cole is considered the nominal favorite at the moment, Fedde has the highest ceiling of the bunch. If he shows he can be healthy and effective over the next few weeks, he could leapfrog his more experienced teammates to claim the spot.

Fedde (forearm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Braves, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde has faced no reported limitations in the spring after he was shut down last September with a right forearm flexor strain, but that didn't stop the Nationals from waiting a few days to integrate him into the Grapefruit League schedule, likely for precautionary reasons. With Fedde's health on seemingly solid ground, he should get a fair opportunity to battle for the No. 5 starter role, assuming the front office doesn't look to the free-agent pool or trade market to bolster the back end of the rotation. After providing middling numbers at Triple-A Syracuse and getting tagged for 16 earned runs over 15.1 innings in three spot starts in the big leagues a season ago, Fedde is probably best served returning to the upper minors to begin the 2018 campaign, but the new coaching staff will see what the 25-year-old is able to do in the spring before determining his fate.

Fedde (forearm) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde only appeared in three big-league contests this past season, and was shut down in early September while dealing with a right forearm flexor strain. Looking ahead, he should be completely healed and ready to vie for a spot in the Nationals' rotation next spring.

Fedde (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Thursday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply procedural, as Fedde has already been shut down for the remainder of the season with a right forearm flexor strain. The move opens up a spot for top prospect Victor Robles to join the big club. Fedde will turn his focus to getting healthy and competing for a rotation spot in 2018.

Fedde, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, will be shut down for the rest of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde landed on the disabled list with a right forearm flexor strain, and while a clean MRI indicated the injury would likely force him to miss just a start or two, the Nats decided to play it safe and end his season early anyway. The 24-year-old climbed from Double-A Harrisburg all the way to the majors this season, and while he struggled in a trio of spot starts, he's expected to compete for a rotation spot in 2018.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when the issue cropped up, but it could help explain why he was bypassed for Monday's start. He's still without a timetable for his return at this point, and it's unclear if he'll be able to pitch before the season ends. A.J. Cole, who will start Monday's game against the Marlins, was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Fedde won't start Monday's game against the Marlins and will instead remain available out of the bullpen, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was considered a candidate to start Monday with manager Dusty Baker wanting to build an extra day of rest for the Nationals' starting staff, but the Washington bench boss ultimately decided to go with A.J. Cole for the spot start. It's hard to argue with the decision, as Cole had vastly outperformed Fedde in their previous starting opportunities with the big club this season. Fedde, who has submitted a 9.39 ERA and 2.15 WHIP across 15.1 innings with the Nationals this season, is expected to serve in a lower-leverage relief role throughout September.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was an option to start for the Nationals this weekend against the Brewers, but the club has already set its rotation, so he will step into a bullpen role for now. Fedde started three games for Washington earlier this season, and with the club owning a 15-game lead in the AL East as September begins, he could be used in that role again as the Nationals set up their rotation for the postseason.

Fedde is the most likely candidate to make a spot start Saturday against the Brewers, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Max Scherzer had his next outing pushed back to Sunday to afford him -- and the rest of the Nats rotation -- a bit of extra rest, creating the need for a spot starter. Fedde has an ugly 9.39 ERA in three big-league start this season, but with A.J. Cole not yet eligible to rejoin the active roster after he was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Fedde seems like the only other option.

Fedde was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's game against the Marlins, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction was fully expected after Fedde joined the Nationals as the 26th man for their doubleheader Sunday with the Mets. The rookie right-hander started the first game of the twin bill, covering a season-high six innings and surrendering five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five batters. There's a good chance that Fedde rejoins the Nationals when rosters expand in September, but it's expected he'll work in a relief role now that Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer are both seemingly healthy after battling injuries earlier this month.
