Out of options Fedde no longer has any options remaining following an arbitrator's ruling, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Fedde hasn't had a great spring, giving up five runs in seven innings while posting a 7:4 K:BB, and he's fallen well behind Joe Ross in the battle for the No. 5 starter job. It's possible Fedde's lack of options gives him a leg up in the battle for a swingman/long-relief role, as the Nationals would have to place him on waivers to send him to the minors, but Austin Voth is also out of options and is a candidate for the same role.

Losing ground in rotation battle Fedde threw 67 pitches over four innings in a simulated game Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The right-hander faced off against Joe Ross, his main competition for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. but Fedde wasn't quite as efficient with his workload. Both pitchers could begin the year in the rotation if either Stephen Strasburg (calf) or Jon Lester (neck) isn't ready for Opening Day, but if only one spot is available, it appears to be Ross' job to lose at this point in the spring. Through seven Grapefruit League innings, Fedde has a 6.43 ERA and 7:4 K:BB.

Strong outing against Mets Fedde struck out four over three innings of relief in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. After the game, Nationals manager D...

Impact The right-hander came into camp in the running for the No. 5 spot in the rotation, but Joe Ross was considered the favorite for that role and has done nothing to allow Fedde or Austin Voth to close the gap on him. However, Jon Lester (neck) may not be ready for Opening Day, creating another vacancy, and Fedde's performance Saturday may have put him in the lead to fill it. If he doesn't break camp in the rotation, the 28-year-old will either head down to Triple-A to stay stretched out or handle a long-relief role in the big-league bullpen.

Could fit in six-man rotation Fedde would be an option for the final spot if the Nationals open the season with a six-man rotation, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The right-hander is currently battling Joe Ross and Austin Voth for the No. 5 job, but with Jon Lester (thyroid surgery) now questionable for Opening Day another spot could open up, and given the overall state of the team's veteran and injury-prone top of the rotation, all three could wind up getting turns in the early part of the season. The Nats also only have two scheduled off days over the first three weeks, giving them extra incentive to take it easy on the likes of Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg. Fedde appeared in 11 games (eight starts) in 2020, posting a solid 4.29 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 50.1 innings, but his 12.6 percent strikeout rate gives him limited fantasy appeal in any role.

Starting spring opener Fedde will get the start in the Nationals' first Grapefruit League game Sunday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander is in the mix for the No. 5 starter job, although Joe Ross is considered the favorite to break camp in that spot. Fedde posted a career-best 4.29 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 50.1 innings last season, but his 28:22 K:BB was lackluster as he relied on weak contact and groundballs to generate outs. The 28-year-old's best fit on the staff might be in long relief.

Solid outing wasted Fedde (2-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies after giving up three runs on five hits with five strikeouts and one walk over seven innings.

Impact The right-hander kept Philadelphia in check for most of the game with the exception of Bryce Harper, who hit a pair of solo homers. The bullpen then allowed nine runs in the last two innings, eliminating any chance of taking him off the hook for the loss. Fedde will finish with a 4.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB over 50.1 innings, assuming he doesn't appear out of the bullpen this weekend.

Picks up second win Fedde (2-3) tossed six scoreless frames Friday as he earned the win against in the matinee against the Marlins. He allowed one hit and two walks while striking out six.

Impact Fedde failed to generate much dominance recently as he carried an 0-2 record over his past two starts, but he was dominant while pitching in the first game of Friday's doubleheader. The right-hander matched his longest appearance of the season, and the bullpen kept the shutout intact during the final inning. The right-hander now carries a 4.36 ERA and 23:21 K:BB over 43.1 innings during 10 appearances (seven starts) this season. His next start should come at home Wednesday against the Phillies.

Settles for no-decision Fedde allowed two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in Friday's win against Atlanta. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact After the Nationals scored five runs over the first three innings Friday, Fedde appeared to be in line for his first win in nearly a month. However, Atlanta mounted a comeback in the ninth inning, and Fedde had to settle for a no-decision as the game went to extra innings. The right-hander now has a 5.06 ERA, but he's struggled with command as he carries a 17:19 K:BB over 37.1 innings this season. His next start should come on the road Friday against the Marlins.
