Fedde did not factor into the decision, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings during Sunday's loss to the Tigers. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde needed 96 pitches to record 14 outs, but looked solid in his first start with the White Sox. After playing each of his first big league seasons with the Nationals, Fedde spent time last year in the KBO with much success, leading to another major league opportunity, this time with the White Sox. His next start is tentatively slated to take place on the road next weekend against Kansas City.

Fedde (quadriceps) is starting Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander suffered a quadriceps injury during his final spring start last weekend, but he's ready to make his season debut Sunday versus Detroit. Fedde joined the White Sox on a two-year, $15 million contract in December after he posted a 2.00 ERA and 209:35 K:BB across 180.1 frames in the KBO last year.

Fedde suffered a quadriceps injury in Sunday's matchup with the Rockies, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was on the mound for the start Sunday versus Colorado, tossing five innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four batters. In the contest, he took a line drive off of his right leg, suffering a quadriceps contusion. He reportedly avoided a significant injury, and Fedde expects to be able to make his first scheduled start of the 2024 campaign Sunday versus the Tigers.

Fedde appears to be in line to start for the White Sox on Opening Day against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde emerged as the frontrunner to start Opening Day after the White Sox traded Dylan Cease to the Padres on Wednesday in exchange for a haul of prospects. Fedde's last season in the majors came in 2022, when he accumulated a 5.81 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while striking out 94 batters across 127 innings. He spent last season in the Korea Baseball Organization and won the league's MVP award after posting a 2.00 ERA, and the 31-year-old righty has has been OK in spring training thus far. Fedde's recent success should be enough to warrant cautious optimism from fantasy managers heading into the new season.

Fedde signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde will return to the majors after spending the 2023 season in the KBO, where he posted a 2.00 ERA and was named the league's MVP. The 30-year-old righty put up a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with the Nationals between 2017-22, but the White Sox are apparently willing to take a chance on Fedde after finishing with one of baseball's worst pitching staffs last season.

Fedde is drawing interest from MLB teams this winter after a successful 2023 season in the Korea Baseball Organization, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the KBO's NC Dinos last December and went on to post a 20-6 record, 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 209:35 K:BB across 180.1 innings (30 starts) as he claimed the Korean version of the Cy Young Award. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 5.41 ERA in 454.1 innings with the Nationals between the 2017-22 seasons, but it looks like he'll get another shot in the majors and could even command a fairly sizable deal.

Fedde agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde was given a $200,000 signing bonus and an $800,000 salary, reaching the one-year maximum salary for a first-year foreign player in the KBO. The 29-year-old was a bust as a 2014 first-round pick before being non-tendered by the Nationals earlier this offseason.

The Nationals declined to tender Fedde a contract for 2023, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington kept trotting Fedde out there despite his struggles -- he had the second-worst ERA (5.81) among pitchers who threw at least 120 innings in the majors last season, trailing only teammate Patrick Corbin. Fedde will likely have to scratch and claw for a roster spot somewhere in spring training.

Fedde (6-13) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing nine runs on nine hits and two walks over 2.1 innings while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

It was a short and disastrous afternoon for Fedde in the season finale, as he allowed three runs in all three frames in which he appeared. The nine runs allowed were a season high for the right-hander after he had not allowed more than four runs in any start since Aug 30. He closes 2022 with a 5.81 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 94:58 K:BB over 127 innings.

Fedde (6-11) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Fedde allowed a two-run single in the first inning followed by a solo homer from outfielder Bryan De La Cruz to lead off the fourth and an RBI double from Miguel Rojas in the sixth, one of three doubles surrendered by the righty. Fedde is going through a dreadful stretch in his last nine starts, recording a 7.42 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 40 innings. Furthermore, the 29-year-old has pitched five innings or more in just four of those starts.
