Yesterday, the Washington Nationals made the decision to shut down young starting pitcher Erick Fedde due to a strained flexor mass in his right forearm. Since AJ Cole is available to make starts and Fedde was probably not going to make the postseason roster, this was logically the best choice the Nats could make for the long term:
Dusty said Fedde first felt issue late in final start at AAA, wishes he said something during last Sunday’s start in DC. Sent him for tests.

Rizzo said Fedde MRI was “clean,” flexor strain isn’t near elbow.
