The Atlanta Braves<\/a> acquired veteran starting pitcher Erick Fedde<\/a> from the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> for a player to be named later or cash, both teams announced Sunday.<\/p>\n

As part of the deal, the Cardinals will cover the majority of what remains of Fedde’s $7.5 million salary for 2025, a source told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Fedde, 32, is a free agent at season’s end, making him a surprising pickup for a Braves team that was swept by the Texas Rangers<\/a> over the weekend and is 16 games below .500, trailing the first-place New York Mets<\/a> by 16\u00bd games.<\/p>\n

But the Braves have sustained a slew of injuries to their starting rotation of late, with AJ Smith-Shawver<\/a> (torn ulnar collateral ligament), Spencer Schwellenbach<\/a> (fractured elbow), Chris Sale<\/a> (fractured ribcage) and, more recently, Grant Holmes<\/a> (elbow inflammation) landing on the injured list since the start of June.<\/p>\n

Fedde reestablished himself in South Korea in 2023, parlaying a dominant season into a two-year, $15 million contract to return stateside with the Chicago White Sox<\/a>. Fedde continued that success in 2024, posting a 3.30 ERA in 177\u2153 innings with the White Sox and Cardinals.<\/p>\n

This year, though, it has been a struggle for a crafty right-hander who doesn’t generate a lot of strikeouts. Twenty starts in, Fedde is 3-10 with a 5.22 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alden GonzalezJul 27, 2025, 06:42 PM ET CloseESPN baseball reporter.
