The Atlanta Braves have been struggling immensely with pitching this year, from unsatisfactory performances to injuries, and have been scrambling at the deadline to find new talent to drag the team’s season out of the mud.
Monday, Erick Fedde was acquired by the Braves in a trade with the Cardinals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. The former Cardinal has had something of a difficult season with a 3-10 record and 5.22 ERA, though he’s certainly looking to change things around with his new club.
The very next day, the Braves announced that Fedde would be pitching in his first full day as a Brave, in a 6:40 matchup against the Royals.
