Bryce Elder can be infuriating, but he has shown at least some competency, and he can be optioned anyway,&#8221; Cole wrote. &#8220;The main candidates are Erick Fedde and Carlos Carrasco, and it is a close call between the two starters, but it feels like Carrasco is the kind of veteran mentor the Braves want around, whereas Fedde will have to earn the right to stay, and that seems unlikely.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once the Braves have a starting pitcher return from injury, Fedde will be designated for assignment or cut again. He&#8217;s not a very competitive big leaguer at this stage of his career, and it seems like the Braves only added him to eat innings while their rotation was injured.<\/p>\n<p>With Hurston Waldrep throwing well in the Speedway Classic, the Braves already have one youngster to stay on the roster. Fedde will lose his spot in the big leagues when a prospect is ready or when an injured starter is set to return to Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This season has been a complete disaster for the Atlanta Braves.
