BREAKING: The Atlanta Braves have just released veteran right-hander Erick Fedde in a surprising turn of events following his lackluster performance this season. The decision comes less than a month after the Braves acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals on July 27, 2023, in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
Fedde, 32, struggled during his time in Atlanta, finishing with a record of 1-2 and a staggering 8.10 ERA over five appearances, including four starts. In total, across both St. Louis and Atlanta, his season record stands at 4-12 with a 5.76 ERA in 25 games. This release highlights the ongoing challenges the Braves face as they seek to solidify their pitching staff.
In a further shake-up, the Braves have recalled right-handers Wander Suero and Hunter Stratton ahead of their game against the New York Mets today. Compounding the team’s woes, left-hander Aaron Bummer has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. Bummer has appeared in 42 games this season, with a record of 3-2 and a 3.81 ERA.
This sudden roster change raises questions about the Braves’ strategy as they prepare for the crucial stretch run of the season. Fans and analysts are left wondering how these adjustments will impact the team’s performance moving forward.
Stay tuned for updates as the Braves navigate these critical changes in their lineup.
