Pitching-starved Braves acquire RHP Erick Fedde from Cardinals

The Atlanta Braves obtained right-hander Erick Fedde from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Fedde is 3-10 with a 5.22 ERA in 20 starts for the Cardinals this season.

Atlanta made the move hours after placing right-hander Grant Holmes (right elbow) on the 15-day injured list. The Braves then transferred Holmes to the 60-day IL to open up a 40-man roster spot for Fedde.

Fedde has struggled this season and was recently designated for assignment by the Cardinals, but Atlanta is in dire need of starting pitchers.

Reigning National League Cy Young Award Chris Sale (fractured rib) is one of five starters on the IL. The others are right-handers Spencer Schwellenbach, Reynaldo Lopez, AJ Smith-Shawver and Holmes.

Fedde, 32, has a career mark of 33-52 with a 4.87 ERA in 153 career appearances (139 starts).

Fedde was with the Washington Nationals from 2017-22 before playing in Korea in 2023. He split last season with the Chicago White Sox and Cardinals.
