Erick Fedde struggled mightily in Saturday's matchup, allowing five earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out only two over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a stark departure from his solid season stats, which boasted a 3.46 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP entering the game. The five walks tied a season-high for Fedde, significantly inflating his ERA and WHIP, and his inability to go deep into the game likely taxed the White Sox' bullpen. While his season-long numbers still look respectable, fantasy managers should be cautious. This outing could be an indicator of underlying issues or simply a bad day at the office, but it's a situation worth monitoring closely in his future starts.
