Cardinals Stick with Fedde as Starting Pitcher Despite Struggles
Despite facing some challenges in his recent performances, the Cardinals have made the decision to stick with Erick Fedde as their starting pitcher for Saturday’s game against the Braves.
This announcement comes as a surprise to many fans and critics, as Fedde has been struggling on the mound in his last few outings. However, the Cardinals have shown confidence in the young pitcher and are giving him another chance to prove himself.
Despite his struggles, Fedde has shown potential and the Cardinals are hoping that he will bounce back and deliver a strong performance against the Braves. This decision also shows the team’s commitment to developing their young players and giving them opportunities to grow and improve.
Many are eagerly anticipating Saturday’s game to see how Fedde will fare and if he can turn things around. The pressure will be on for Fedde to deliver, but with the support of his team and the determination to prove himself, he may just surprise everyone with a stellar performance.
Cardinals Announce Erick Fedde News Before Braves Series
The last time we saw Erick Fedde pitch was a disaster. In just 1 ⅓ innings, the Cardinals’ veteran right-hander allowed three runs on two hits and four walks against the Cubs. And it wasn’t just a one-time fluke – Fedde’s previous two starts were equally disappointing, with seven runs allowed in each game. Despite these struggles, the Cardinals are giving him another chance this Saturday against the Braves.
Fedde’s recent performance has been far from impressive, with a 0-5 record and a whopping 6.54 ERA in his last seven games. Overall, he has a 4.79 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 94 innings pitched this year.
Cardinals Starting Pitcher Erick Fedde Gets Another Shot
Many Cardinals fans were hoping to see 25-year-old RHP Michael McGreevy take the mound on Saturday. With a 3.21 ERA in Triple-A Memphis and a solid performance in his four appearances with the big-league club in 2025, McGreevy seemed like a promising choice. However, the Cardinals have decided to stick with Fedde for now.
It’s not just Fedde who is struggling – tonight’s starter for St. Louis, Miles Mikolas, is in a similar situation. Both pitchers have been struggling 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.
Cardinals’ Starting Rotation Faces Uncertainty
The Cardinals’ starting rotation is likely to undergo some changes in the coming month. However, it seems unlikely that the team will be willing to eat both Mikolas and Fedde’s contracts. One possible reason for continuing to give them opportunities to start is to try and increase their trade value.
After McGreevy, the Cardinals have other options such as Tekoah Roby and Quinn Mathews, who have had inconsistent performances in Memphis. Some potential trade targets for St. Louis include Diamondbacks’ Merrill Kelly and Rays’ Taj Bradley.
