St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde allowed six hits and no runs over nine innings in Friday's 10-0 win over the Washington Nationals. The 32-year-old struck out eight batters and walked none in the first complete game and shutout of his MLB career. It was easily the best start of the season for him and marked the first time he'd punched out more than four batters. Fedde hammered in 68 of 109 pitches for strikes and had previously not gone longer than six innings in any outing. The Las Vegas native scattered six hits (one double) and allowed no runs for the second time in 2025. He'll have a much tougher task in his next start, which projects to come on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies early next week. Despite the dominant showing against Washington, he'll be difficult to trust moving forward.

Offense was hard to come by on both sides in Wednesday's series finale at PNC Park between the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates in a game the Bucs ended up winning 2-1 in 13 innings. Cardinals right-hander Erick Fedde was dialed in but picked up a no-decision, tossing six hitless and scoreless innings while walking four and striking out two. The strong outing lowered the 32-year-old veteran's season ERA to 4.20, and he's now picked up quality starts in two of his first three outings on the year. It was a nice bounce-back performance for him after he was pummeled for six earned runs on five hits (two homers) for his first loss over three innings in his last outing on April 4 against the Boston Red Sox. However, Fedde has only fanned five in 15 innings pitched and will be a shaky fantasy option in his next scheduled outing next week against the visiting Houston Astros.

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde is drawing interest on the trade market. According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Dispatch, several teams believe the Cardinals are actively trying to find a trade partner for the 31-year-old. Throughout the offseason, the Cardinals have attempted to shed payroll. They decided to let Paul Goldschmidt test the open market and have had several discussions with teams about moving third baseman Nolan Arenado. Fedde will likely be moved sometime this season as he is set to enter free agency after the 2025 campaign. Last season, the right-hander posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP across 177 1/3 innings. He tallied 154 punchouts and allowed walks at a strong 7.2 percent rate. He is currently penciled to be the No. 2 option in the St. Louis starting rotation behind Sonny Gray.

According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, the St. Louis Cardinals are not expected to trade starting pitcher Erick Fedde before spring training. President of Baseball Operations, John Mozeliak, noted that while the team would like to continue increasing their financial flexibility, with spring training around the corner, the team would rather hold on to Fedde instead. However, trade talks will likely resume if the Cardinals fall out of playoff contention early in the summer. The 31-year-old opened the 2024 season with the Chicago White Sox before being shipped to St. Louis before the trade deadline. Across 177 1/3 innings, the right-hander posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. He struck out 154 batters with a 7.2% walk rate. Fantasy managers should expect Fedde to open the season as the No.2 option in the St. Louis rotation.

According to Mark Feinsand, Bryan Hoch, and John Denton of MLB.com, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitchers Erick Fedde and Steven Matz are gaining interest on the trade market from several clubs such as the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians. With the Cardinals looking to reshape their roster and shed payroll, moving these options could allow their younger starting pitchers to have more opportunities during the 2025 season. Fedde opened the 2024 season in Chicago but was dealt to the Cardinals at the trade deadline. Across 177 1/3 frames, the 31-year-old posted a 3.30 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. Matz has battled injuries over the past two seasons and pitched only 44 1/3 frames last summer and posted a 5.08 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. If the Cardinals were to move one of these arms, this could create a path for their top pitching prospects, Tink Hence and Quinn Mathews, to spend most of the 2025 summer in the big leagues.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde capped off his comeback season in dominant fashion in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Rockies, scattering six hits and one walk across seven innings while striking out 10 batters on the way to earning his ninth win of the 2024 campaign. With the Cardinals eliminated from playoff contention, Fedde finishes the season with a 9-9 record between Chicago and St. Louis, posting career-bests in ERA (3.38; 4.29 SIERA), WHIP (1.17), opponent batting average (.229), and total strikeouts (144). Fedde spent 2023 in the KBO with positive results, parlaying that success into a strong 2024 MLB season. The 31-year-old will look to keep rolling next season and should begin the year with a much more formidable offense behind him than he did when he began 2024 with the White Sox.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde bounced back in the second start for his new team, picking up the win in a 5-2 victory over the Rays. Fedde went five innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six. The recently acquired righty gave up five earned runs in his debut appearance with the Cardinals, so this performance was a welcome sight. The 31-year-old has been mostly solid this season, posting an 8-5 record with a 3.28 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 118 strikeouts in 131 2/3 innings pitched. He'll get Cincinnati on the road in his next start this coming Tuesday.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was lit up for five ER in five innings and was credited with the loss as the Cardinals fell to the Chicago Cubs 6-3 on Friday afternoon. Fedde, who was acquired at the deadline by the Cardinals, allowed two HR on six hits while falling to 7-5 on the season. It's the third time this season Fedde has allowed five ER and his ERA now sits at 3.34 on the season. The 31-year-old is in the midst of a career year, but fantasy managers should be aware that negative regression will likely continue to come for Fedde as his 3.34 ERA is paired with a 3.79 xERA. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to keep him in their starting lineups, but expectations may need to be tempered going forward. He'll get another chance to stave off negative regression and pick up his first Cardinals win on Wednesday when St. Louis hosts on the Tampa Bay Rays.

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired pitcher Erick Fedde on Monday as part of a three-team trade with the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. Fedde is enjoying a strong campaign after spending the 2023 season playing in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) and winning the KBO equivalent of the Cy Young award. The right-hander currently owns a 3.11 ERA and 108 strikeouts across 121 2/3 innings pitched this season. St. Louis was in need of a starting pitcher at this year's deadline, and they acquired one of the top available pitchers. Utility specialist Tommy Edman goes to the Dodgers in this trade.

The St. Louis Cardinals are pushing toward acquiring Chicago White Sox right-handed starter Erick Fedde, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Heyman reports there is nothing definitive on a deal, however. Fedde is 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in a resurgent year for the White Sox this season. The 31-year-old would be a nice addition to any starting rotation, and the Cardinals would give Fedde an opportunity for more wins playing on a better team. It would be a win for both the Cardinals, and Fedde's fantasy managers should this move go through.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde threw five innings of scoreless baseball in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the Twins in the first game of a doubleheader. The righty allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five on his way to earning his seventh win of the season. The renaissance of Fedde continues after spending a season in the KBO, as the 31-year-old is now 7-3 with a 2.99 ERA (3.54 FIP), 1.13 WHIP, and a 15.1% K-BB%. A key element of his success has been keeping the ball in the yard, with a 9.2% HR/FB% this season as compared to a career rate of 16.2%. The former first-round draft pick's next start would come against the Royals after the All-Star break, a team he's seen twice already this season, throwing a combined 10 2/3 innings, allowing one earned run on nine hits and five walks along with nine strikeouts.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde continued his stellar start to the season in Tuesday's Game 2 4-0 win over the Nationals. Fedde pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and no walks with six strikeouts. The 31-year-old has enjoyed success in his MLB return this season, going 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA, an 8.65 K/9 rate, and a 2.42 BB/9 rate in nine starts and 52 IP. He will have a chance to continue his hot streak in his next scheduled start at the scuffling Blue Jays.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde had a solid outing against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, tossing six innings of shutout ball and earning the win in a 3-2 victory. Fedde allowed six hits while walking none and striking out three. Although the whiffs weren't there for the righty in this one, he was able to control his pitches much better than last outing, where he walked five. It was a step in the right direction for Fedde, but he will have to continue to have these strong performances to become a must-start fantasy option.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde was sharp on the mound during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander threw 8 1/3 innings while allowing seven hits and two earned runs during the 4-2 win. Fedde struck out nine batters during this game to build his season total to 39 strikeouts. The assumption is that the right-hander is going to regress, but for the time being he holds a strong 2.20 ERA over six starts. Fantasy managers in need of pitching help should look at Fedde.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde suffered a tough luck no-decision on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Fedde tossed six innings for a quality start and allowed three hits, one run, no walks and struck out a career-high 11 batters. Unfortunately for Fedde, his hard work went to waste as the White Sox bullpen blew a big lead and eventually the game. Despite the White Sox having a very tough season, Fedde has been one of the lone bright spots and boasts a respectable 2.73 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP in his first five starts. Fedde won't get many wins for managers, but he can help in other categories. He is worth a look with his next matchup coming against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde recorded the win in the second game of Wednesday's twin bill against the division-rival Kansas City Royals, striking out five over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in the 2-1 victory. Fedde gave up three hits and three walks, and the ChiSox scratched a run during the fourth inning to help get Fedde his first win of the 2024 season. The 31-year-old right-hander has a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 19:5 K:BB across 20 1/3 innings (four starts) so far this year. Fedde's next start is scheduled to come at Target Field on Tuesday against ace Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins, when he'll be worthy of streaming consideration in fantasy baseball versus an injury-riddled offense that's scored the third-fewest runs (58) in baseball through 17 games.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Erick Fedde took a line drive off his leg in his Spring Training start on Sunday, but shook it off and was able to continue. Fedde said after the game that it is a minor contusion and he will be good to go for his first start of the regular season next Sunday. The 31-year-old had a decent spring, pitching to a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with eight strikeouts in 14 IP. He should be a good stop-gap for a White Sox team lacking in the pitching department. He might be a decent streamer on two-start weeks, but don't count on him for much.

Free-agent right-hander Erick Fedde and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal on Tuesday, according to sources. The 30-year-old went 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, where he was named the MVP in 2023. He will now make his way back overseas to the big leagues. Fedde made his MLB debut in 2017 with the Washington Nationals and spent six years in D.C., going 21-33 with a 5.41 ERA (5.17 FIP) and 1.52 WHIP in 454 1/3 innings over 102 outings (88 starts). The rebuilding White Sox had a need for starting pitchers on the cheap this offseason, so Fedde will get a chance to re-establish his value in the majors. He'll be in a good spot to make some noise as a sleeper candidate in the weak American League Central division.

The Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets appear to be the top two teams interested in free-agent starting pitcher Erick Fedde, MLB's Mark Feinsand reported Monday. The 30-year-old is coming off a fabulous 2023 season with KBO's NC Dinos, going 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 29.5% strikeout rate. A deal, which is expected to be in the two-year, $10 million range, could be finalized by Tuesday. Fedde was once an MLB prospect with the Washington Nationals but compiled a lackluster 5.41 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 17.5% strikeout rate over 102 appearances (88 starts). While he did just take home the Most Valuable Player Award for KBO, fantasy managers may want to be cautious with trusting Fedde should he return to the big leagues.

Free agent pitcher Erick Fedde is weighing offers from clubs from both the KBO and MLB. It was reported earlier in the month MLB clubs were showing interest in Fedde who recently was named the KBO's MVP after a dominant season with the NC Dinos while the club is reportedly ready to put its best foot forward to bring the right-hander back for at least one more season. Fedde worked to a tidy 2.30 ERA across 30 starts with the Dinos in 2023, striking out 209 across 180 1/3 innings while going 20-6 on the campaign. A former first-round pick of the Nationals, Fedde owns a career 5.41 ERA in parts of six seasons in the big leagues but saw massive improvements in both his strikeout and walk rates in his lone season overseas to this point.
