Cardinals Announce Erick Fedde News Before Braves Series
Cardinals Announce Erick Fedde News Before Braves Series. Fedde is 0-5 with a whopping 6.54 ERA. He has a 4.79 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 94 innings pitched this year. Cardinals fans were hopeful the club would turn to 25-year-old Michael McGreevy for Saturday’s game. Some names that have been floated around as potential trade targets for St. Louis include Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly and Rays’ Taj Bradley. The Cardinals’ starting rotation is bound to look different within the coming month, but it feels unlikely they will be willing to eat both Mikolas and Fedde’s contracts.
The last time we saw Erick Fedde pitch was Sunday night against the Cubs, when he was pulled from the game after recording just four outs. In 1 ⅓ innings pitched, the Cardinals’ veteran right-hander allowed three runs on two hits and four walks.

Fedde’s two starts before Sunday’s loss to the Cubs weren’t any better, as he allowed seven runs in each of them. Despite the major struggles, though, the Cardinals are giving him another chance this Saturday against the Braves.
In his last seven games, Fedde is 0-5 with a whopping 6.54 ERA. He has a 4.79 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 94 innings pitched this year.

Many Cardinals fans were hopeful the club would turn to 25-year-old RHP Michael McGreevy for Saturday’s game. McGreevy has a 3.21 ERA in Triple-A Memphis this year and has been pretty effective in his four appearances with the big-league club in 2025.

Miles Mikolas, who will start for St. Louis tonight, is pretty much in the same situation Fedde is in. Both pitchers are struggling mightily as of late and are set to become free agents at the end of the season. The only difference is that Mikolas is being paid over $17.5 million, while Fedde is being paid $7.5 million.
The Cardinals’ starting rotation is bound to look different within the coming month, but it feels unlikely that St. Louis will be willing to eat both Mikolas and Fedde’s contracts. A potential answer as to why both Mikolas and Fedde are still being given opportunities to start is so that the Cardinals can try to squeeze any lingering trade value out of one or both of them.
After McGreevy, the Cardinals have guys like Tekoah Roby and Quinn Mathews who have had up-and-down years in Memphis. Some names that have been floated around as potential trade targets for St. Louis include Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly and Rays’ Taj Bradley.

Erick Fedde stays in Cardinals rotation for now, set to start Saturday

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told media members on Fedde, “He has to find a solution to what’s going on.” The Cardinals are 49-44 heading into their series finale against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The Cardinals will then host the Atlanta Braves for three games to close out the season’s unofficial first half.
Fedde is set to take the mound Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, the Cardinals’ second-to-last game before their midseason break, according to reports Thursday from several Cardinals media members.

Fedde hasn’t won a game since May 9 and has a 5.70 ERA over his last 10 starts. Over his last three outings, Fedde has allowed 17 earned runs and only covered 10 innings. His recent struggles became magnified during a Sunday Night Baseball start against the division-leading Chicago Cubs, chased early after just four outs on 53 pitches, allowing three earned runs in an eventual blowout loss.
Following the start, Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told media members on Fedde, “He has to find a solution to what’s going on. … Continuing to go down this road doesn’t seem beneficial at the moment.”

The remarks initially suggested the Cardinals could shake up their rotation, possibly by calling up young arm Michael McGreevy or looking elsewhere from within.

Instead, the Cardinals reshuffled the rotation ahead of their final pre All-Star homestand, lining up Sonny Gray to make two more starts and giving Fedde and others an extra day of rest from their normal turn.
It’s unclear how much longer the Cardinals may turn to Fedde or fellow slumping starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (7.75 ERA over his last seven starts) as they stay close within the postseason picture. Mikolas’ final start before the break is set for Thursday.
Fedde, who the Cardinals acquired last year at the trade deadline in a deal involving Tommy Edman, could possibly see himself on the trade block in a few weeks as a pending free agent, so perhaps Saturday’s start will help the Cardinals further reevaluate his fit on the team going forward as the postseason hopes hang in the balance.
The Cardinals are 49-44 heading into Thursday’s series finale against the Washington Nationals. First pitch is set for 6:45 p.m. CT. The Cardinals will then host the Atlanta Braves for three games to close out the season’s unofficial first half.
