Fedde has permitted seven runs on 10 hits, three walks and four strikeouts over 10 innings during Grapefruit League action.
Much of the damage came in his last start against the Marlins, when Fedde served up three home runs and six runs over four frames. Fedde had just a 19.7 percent strikeout rate from May on last season and the lack of whiffs has continued this spring. However, while fantasy managers shouldn't count on many strikeouts, Fedde showed last year that he is capable of providing useful ratios.

Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Getting ball for first spring game
Rotowire
Fedde is scheduled to start the Cardinals' Grapefruit League opener Saturday versus the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Fedde is unlikely to cover more than one or two innings Saturday, but he'll get gradually stretched out during spring training and should be ready to handle a typical starter's workload to begin the regular season After returning stateside with a revamped repertoire in 2024 following a one-year stint in Korea, Fedde emerged as a viable mid-rotation arm between stops with the White Sox and Cardinals. Over his 31 starts, the 31-year-old submitted a 3.30 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while punching out 154 batters over 177.1 innings.
Cardinals' Erick Fedde: Strikes out 10 batters Wednesday
Rotowire
Fedde (9-9) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.
Fedde racked up 14 whiffs en route to his 10 punchouts, his most since he fanned 11 batters against the Twins on April 23. The right-hander picked up his second straight quality start, and he gave up two earned runs or fewer in five of his final seven outings. If Fedde doesn't pitch again this season, as expected, he'll finish the campaign with career-best marks in wins (nine), ERA (3.30), WHIP (1.16) and strikeouts (154) while tallying a career-high 31 starts and 177.1 innings.
Fedde allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Fedde surrendered a fourth-inning run but otherwise kept the Pirates off the scoreboard. The right-hander finished with his first quality start since Aug. 25 and just his second over his past 10 outings. Fedde's numbers haven't been overwhelming, but his 3.38 season ERA is on pace to easily be the best of his seven-year career.
