.Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde has gained around 15 pounds in the offseason and is trying to add seven more pounds as he attempts to pitch deeper into games in 2019. Fedde went 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 46 punchouts in 50 1/3 innings over 11 big league starts in 2018. The right-hander will look to compete for a spot in the starting rotation next spring and could have value in deep mixed and NL-only leagues.

.Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde went 3 1/3 innings pitched, giving up five hits, three runs, and four walks while striking out two in the 8-6 loss to the New York Mets. Fedde was deemed a solid start option for fantasy players looking to get a Sunday stream to help them in the playoffs, however, was a giant letdown. Fedde hasn't looked too great in his last seven starts either, going 2-1 with a 5.04 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings pitched. It's safe to say that he cannot be trusted as a streamer right now, and should only be streamed out of absolute desperation in his nightmare matchup at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on September 29.

Fedde allowed three runs on five hits and four walks across 3.1 innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Mets. He struck out two.

Fedde allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out six over 4.1 innings Monday against the Marlins. He didn't factor into the decision.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) will come off the 60-day disabled list to make the start against the Cardinals on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Fedde was 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 28 innings over his six starts this year for the Nats. He's definitely not a recommended streamer coming off the DL to face the dangerous Cardinals.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Fedde (shoulder) would be reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and start Tuesday against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Fedde (shoulder) struck out six over 4.2 innings in his second rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse. He gave up two runs on three hits and two walks.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) is reportedly ready to head out for a rehab assignment. Fedde could need just three rehab starts before he's ready to rejoin the Nats, according to Dan Kolko. He should be ready by early September, but Fedde won't have much fantasy value this season.

The Washington Nationals placed starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) on the disabled list Thursday. In a corresponding move, the team recalled Jefry Rodriguez from the minors. Fedde was making a start against the Boston Red Sox on July 4 and immediately had to exit in the first inning with the injury. While it remains to be seen exactly who will fill Fedde's spot in the rotation, it can be safe to assume that the recently-recalled Rodriguez will take up the task. That said, Rodriguez accumulated a 5.93 ERA in three appearances this season. He pitched four clean innings against the Atlanta Braves on June 3 but was demoted after back-to-back bad appearances against the Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies. Rodriguez is not on the fantasy radar as of yet.

Fedde's MRI revealed inflammation but no structural damage in his right shoulder, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

Updating a previous report, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde's (shoulder) MRI exam showed no structural damage in his right shoulder. He's just dealing with inflammation. It's good news, but Fedde may still need to go on the disabled list. As one of the team's top pitching prospects, Fedde hasn't lived up to the hype and has a 6.00 ERA in five starts this year. He should only be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues, and he's just been keeping a rotation spot warm for Stephen Strasburg.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) left his start early on Wednesday due to right shoulder stiffness and is undergoing an MRI exam. Fedde is one of the Nats top pitching prospects, but he's posted mixed results in his time in the majors the last two seasons and is sporting a 6.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and mediocre 6.3 K/9 in five starts this year for Washington. He's really only an option in NL-only and dynasty leagues, and his rotation spot is likely to be gone once Stephen Strasburg returns from the disabled list.

Fedde was removed from his start Wednesday against the Red Sox in the second inning with an undisclosed injury, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports. He retired three of the five batters he faced before departing.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde left his start early against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury after recording just three outs. His velocity had dropped into the upper-80s in the second inning and was pulled after giving up a leadoff single to Rafael Devers in the second frame. One of the team's top pitching prospects, Fedde had been showing mixed results with a 5.79 ERA. Check back for updates on the nature of his injury.

The Washington Nationals have optioned starting pitcher Erick Fedde back to Triple-A Syracuse, according to MASN's Mark Zuckerman. Fedde made his first start of 2018 on Wednesday against the Padres and looked pretty good, working 5 2/3 innings while striking out six batters and only allowing one earned run. His four-pitch mix was working well and his fastball was sitting at 94-96 mph with movement. He's posted a 3.24 FIP at Syracuse this season. Fedde should only be on the radar in very deep dynasty leagues at this point, but he's only a significant injury away from possibly getting an extended run in the Washington rotation. If that happens, he should be considered as a streamer in deeper leagues.

Washington Nationals starter Erick Fedde will start for the team on Wednesday versus the Padres. The Nationals haven't officially made the announcement, but he's on his way to Washington D.C. Fedde hasn't exactly been lighting up the batters at Triple-A. He's given up 20 earned runs in 41 1/3 innings with 42 strikeouts and 13 walks in eight starts. But the Nationals are short on spot starters and the Padres are a west coast team that haven't faced him in the minors. He's worth a stream if you're feeling lucky in DFS games or deeper formats.

Fedde tossed five scoreless innings Friday for Triple-A Syracuse in a win over Louisville, scattering two hits and a walk while striking out seven.

Washington Nationals top pitching prospect Erick Fedde was optioned to the team's Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse on Thursday. He was a possibility for the team's fifth rotation spot, but the signing of Jeremy Hellickson, plus the fact that fellow rookie A.J. Cole was out of options, made that unlikely. This spring Fedde pitched 14.2 innings and struck out 11 batters over six outings. His fastball stayed in the mid-90s, which was encouraging given his early shutdown in 2017 due to a sore elbow. Fedde was mostly used as a reliever last season, but will be kept in the minors this year as a starter. He'll be up in the bigs at some point, so keep an eye on what the club does with him.

Erick Fedde was moved to the 60-day DL by the Nationals, one of several roster moves that included the call-up of top prospect Victor Robles. Fedde was already out for the season, so his move does nothing for his recovery nor readiness in 2018. In Fedde's three MLB starts, he gave up 16 runs in 15 1/3 innings with 15 K and nine walks. He'll likely be a part of the Nats rotation next season, so players in dynasty leagues that count wins may want to stash him for 2018.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was placed on the 10-day disable list Monday with a forearm flexor stain. In a corresponding move, starter A.J. Cole is being called up to start Monday against the Miami Marlins. Fedde allowed 16 earned runs in his three starts for the Nats this year covering 15 1/3 innings. Cole has had his fair share of struggles in five starts, too, although he's only given up four runs in his last two starts. Still, he's a risky streaming option tonight against the Fish.
