BREAKING: The Atlanta Braves have officially released veteran right-hander Erick Fedde today, just weeks after acquiring him from the St. Louis Cardinals. This sudden move comes as the Braves seek to strengthen their roster ahead of crucial games against the New York Mets.
Fedde, 32, joined the Braves on July 27, 2023, but struggled significantly during his brief tenure, posting a disappointing record of 1-2 with an alarming 8.10 ERA over five games, including four starts. In total, he has a 4-12 record and a 5.76 ERA across 25 appearances this season. His inconsistent performance raised concerns among fans and management alike, leading to today’s decision.
In a related move, the Braves have also placed left-hander Aaron Bummer on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. Bummer has made 42 appearances this season, sporting a 3.81 ERA and a record of 3-2. This injury adds to the Braves’ challenges as they aim to maintain their competitive edge.
To fill the void left by Bummer, the Braves recalled right-handers Wander Suero and Hunter Stratton prior to today’s matchup against the Mets. The team is now focusing on adapting to these changes as they look to secure vital wins in the upcoming series.
As the Braves navigate this transitional period, fans are eager to see how these roster adjustments will impact their performance in the tightly contested playoff race. Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
