Surprising Cardinals DFA may be Braves' golden opportunity

The Atlanta Braves are obviously having some issues with injuries in their rotation. At the moment, they are without Reynaldo Lopez, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, and AJ Smith-Shawver amongst others and that...is a lot of rotation arms for any team to lose. However, a unique opportunity may have just presented itself thanks to a bit of a shocking move over in St. Louis.

Erick Fedde put together a very solid season in 2024 with the White Sox and Cardinals and many thought he would be a reliable starter in St. Louis' rotation this season. However, Fedde has fallen on hard times and now that the Cardinals designated Fedde for assignment, he could be exactly what the Braves need to get through the rest of the season.
