Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Staying in rotation for now
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Fedde will start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The Cardinals mulled replacing Fedde in the rotation with Michael McGreevy, but they've decided to give the former at least one more start. Fedde has been pummeled for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts and will be on a short leash moving forward.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Penciled in for Saturday for now
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Fedde is tentatively scheduled to start Saturday versus Atlanta, but the team is "still working through conversations" regarding Fedde's spot in the rotation, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Fedde has been torched for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts, and the Cardinals are considering replacing him in the rotation with Michael McGreevy. A decision regarding who will slot in Saturday against Atlanta should be announced within the next few days.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Next start undetermined
Rotowire
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was noncommittal when asked Sunday whether Fedde would make his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday versus Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "I think we have to use [Monday] as a day we take a step back and figure out what that looks like," Marmol said, regarding his plans for the rotation.
Fedde was charged with three earned runs on two hits and four walks while recording only four outs in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. He's been clobbered for 17 earned runs with a 2:9 K:BB over 10 innings covering his last three starts. Michael McGreevy started Sunday at Triple-A Memphis and would likely be the replacement in the rotation for Fedde if the Cardinals decide to make a change.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Pulled early Sunday
Rotowire
Fedde (3-9) allowed three runs on two hits and four walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.
Fedde needed 53 pitches (26 strikes) to get the four outs. After giving up seven runs in each of his last two outings, it looks like Fedde was on a short leash for this one. He's also walked nine batters over his last 10 innings, and his BB/9 on the year is at 4.3 through 18 starts. Fedde will have trouble getting things back on track if he continues to issue such a high number of free passes. He's added a 4.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 57:45 K:BB across 94 innings this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus Atlanta.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Clobbered again in loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-8) took the loss Monday at Pittsburgh, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over five innings with no strikeouts.
Fedde conceded a leadoff homer to Spencer Horwitz in the first, and it was all downhill from there. The Pirates lineup peppered the St. Louis right-hander for 10 hits, matching Fedde's season-worst mark achieved when he also allowed seven runs against Milwaukee on April 27. With this disaster, the 32-year-old coughed up seven earned runs for the second consecutive start, as he failed to tally a K for the first time this season. Fedde is slated to carry a 4.56 ERA through 92.2 total innings into a difficult road matchup against the Cubs this weekend.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Bombarded in seventh loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-7) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, giving up seven runs on eight hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
It was the second-shortest outing of the season for Fedde, who tied his season worst in runs allowed. The 32-year-old right-hander served up a season-high three home runs, and the eight hits against him were also his most allowed since his sixth start of the year back on April 27. Fedde will take a pedestrian 4.11 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 57:38 K:BB over 87.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Pirates, who have MLB's lowest OPS (.636) since the beginning of May.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Falters late in no-decision
Rotowire
Fedde did not factor into the decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.
Fedde opened with three scoreless innings before allowing two runs over the fourth and fifth, one of which was the result of a two-out error. The 32-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings, though he's gone deep enough to earn a quality start just once during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:36 K:BB across 84 innings into a home matchup with the Cubs next week.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Gets little help in loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-6) took the loss Friday as the Cardinals fell 3-2 to the Brewers, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
It was a solid performance from the right-hander, who tossed 55 of 86 pitches for strikes before exiting the game, but a lack of run support extended Fedde's winless streak to six starts. During that stretch, he's posted a more-than-respectable 3.34 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB over 32.1 innings. Fedde's odds of ending that drought seem good in his next outing, however, as he lines up for a road start next week against the White Sox.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Free passes piling up
Rotowire
Fedde didn't factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four hits and four walks over 5.1 scoreless innings during a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He struck out two.
The righty once again had trouble finding the plate consistently, tossing only 52 of 99 pitches for strikes, but Fedde avoided taking any damage despite putting runners in scoring position during the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. It's the fifth time in 13 starts this season that Fedde has issued at least four free passes, leaving him with a shaky 46:33 K:BB through 73.2 innings, but he still sports a respectable 3.54 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Quality start in loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-5) took the loss Sunday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.
Fedde pitched well Sunday, delivering his first quality start in his last four outings. However, the Cardinals failed to provide much run support against Jacob deGrom on the other end in an eventual 8-1 defeat, leaving Fedde with his second straight loss. The 32-year-old right-hander sports a 3.82 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 44 strikeouts through 12 starts (68.1 innings) this season. Fedde is currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next outing.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Tagged with fourth loss
Rotowire
Fedde (3-4) took the loss in Monday's contest at Baltimore. He allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over five innings with five strikeouts.
The St. Louis right-hander generated a solid 14 whiffs out of 91 total pitches to tally his third outing with five or more Ks this season over 11 total starts. The Orioles lineup did most of their damage when center fielder Dylan Carlson cracked a three-run homer off Fedde in the fourth. Across 62.1 total innings, Fedde has pitched to a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 39:26 K:BB. The 32-year-old is currently slated to make his next start at Texas this weekend.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Surrenders two homers
Rotowire
Fedde allowed four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in five innings versus the Tigers on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Fedde began by allowing a leadoff home run to Kerry Carpenter and the Tigers tacked on another run before the inning concluded. The deficit doubled in the third after Riley Greene hit a two-run blast two right, but Fedde was able to retire the final seven batters he faced after that. Fedde had allowed only three home runs all season heading into Tuesday, and he has now posted a 2.43 ERA on the road this season compared to a 5.20 ERA at home. The right-hander lines up for a potential bounce-back road start against the Orioles next week.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Walks four in no-decision
Rotowire
Fedde allowed three hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Fedde's control issues returned Wednesday after he pitched a six-hit shutout with no walks versus the Nationals last Friday. The right-hander didn't pay for his wildness in this start, which he finished with 93 pitches (51 strikes). Fedde lowered his ERA to 3.44, but his WHIP is elevated at 1.30, and he's not inspiring much confidence with a 32:25 K:BB over 52.1 innings. He's never been particularly reliant on strikeouts, but he's historically had trouble being any better than mediocre when carrying a BB/9 over 4.0. He's lined up for a tough matchup at home versus the Tigers next week.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Shuts out Nats in complete game
Rotowire
Fedde (3-3) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing six hits while striking out eight over nine scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.
Fedde had given up 10 earned runs across his last two outings, but the 32-year-old right-hander was unstoppable in Friday's game and joined Nathan Eovaldi and Michael King as the only pitchers to throw complete game shutouts this season. He generated 10 whiffs on 109 pitches (68 strikes) while inducing 10 groundballs, and he faced the minimum number of batters in five of nine frames. It's the second time Fedde has faced the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft, and he has held the Nationals scoreless across those 16 innings. He'll take a 3.86 ERA and 1.31 WHIP into his next outing, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Phillies.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Shaky in win
Rotowire
Fedde (2-3) earned the win in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He allowed three runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over five innings.
Fedde's start was pushed back a day after Saturday's rainout. He was able to earn a win for the first time since his season debut, but he was not at his best, as the five walks were a season high. The 32-year-old right-hander has had some trouble with control this season, as evidenced by his 21:21 K:BB over 37.2 innings across seven starts. He's added a mediocre 4.78 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. Fedde's next start is projected to be on the road versus one of his former teams, the Nationals.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Hit hard in loss
Rotowire
Fedde (1-3) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Fedde surrendered three runs in the first inning and then four more in the fourth. He was able to manage only eight whiffs on 103 pitches while yielding 11 hard-hit balls. The 32-year-old has been inconsistent in 2025, with four quality starts but also 13 total earned runs allowed in his other two outings. He'll carry a 4.68 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Pitched through calf issue
Rotowire
Fedde pitched through a calf issue after being struck by a line drive in the second inning of Monday's outing in Atlanta, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Fedde wound up covering six innings in the start and limited Atlanta to two runs. He worked with a trainer in between innings to keep the muscle loose and felt fine while pitching, but Fedde had trouble putting weight on the leg while talking to the media after the game. Fedde will have six days of rest before his next scheduled start Monday in Cincinnati, and there's no indication at this point that he might be in danger of missing that start.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Posts another quality start
Rotowire
Fedde logged a no-decision against Atlanta on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while notching three strikeouts over six innings.
Fedde had only one clean inning among his six frames, but he managed to mostly tip-toe around trouble with the help of two double plays behind him. The righty was in line for the win when he departed, but Atlanta scored five runs in the eighth frame to pull out the victory. While Fedde has registered a fine 3.33 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and now has four quality starts in five appearances, he's played with fire in walking three of more batters in each of his past four outings while heavily pitching to contact. As a result, his FIP is a much less desirable 5.07, while his K:BB is an ugly 13:14 through 27 innings.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Works around danger in second loss
Rotowire
Fedde (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros after giving up one run on six hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Fedde managed to escape two bases-loaded jams, with one coming in the second inning by getting Mauricio Dubon to fly out and another in the fourth after by forcing Jose Altuve to fly out. Jake Meyers plated a run on a single in the sixth, but Fedde was able to induce a double play to close his outing on a positive note. Although the veteran right-hander carries a solid 3.43 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through four starts (21 innings), his 10:11 K:BB is a cause for concern heading into next week's tough matchup in Atlanta.
