September 30: As expected, Fedde went unclaimed on waivers and was outrighted, . He can stick in the organization for the rest of the postseason in case injuries open a path back to the big league bullpen. September 28: The Brewers announced today that left-hander and right-hander have been reinstated from the 15-day injured list. In corresponding moves, they have optioned right-hander and designated righty for a signment. It was in recent days that Megill would likely be back from the IL today. Fedde, 32, was picked up off the scrap heap about a month ago. A rough first half with the Cardinals led to him being designated for a signment in July. He landed with Atlanta but was released a few weeks into August. The Brewers had suffered a few injuries and brought Fedde aboard. Since then, he absorbed 16 innings over seven appearances out of the Milwaukee bullpen. His 3.38 earned run average in that time was fine but his matching 10.6% strikeout and walk rates were both subpar. Milwaukee has just one Gordie Howe Jersey regular season game remaining and then have a bye through the Wild Card round. They dont really need a long reliever anymore and Fedde wasnt going to be in line for playoff innings, so hes been bumped off the roster. Hell be placed on outright or release waivers now but there will be no point in any club putting in a claim. He wouldnt be postseason eligible with any other team and he is a free agent at seasons end. He would have the right to reject an outright a signment and elect free agency, though he might accept an outright for the off-chance that the Brewers suffer some injuries and need him later in October. Overall, between his three clubs, Fedde logged 141 innings this year with a 5.49 ERA, 13.3% strikeout rate, 10% walk rate and 40.4% ground ball rate. Thats a hugely disappointed campaign when compared to his 2024 season. After a seeming breakout in Korea in 2023, he returned to North American ball by signing a two-year, $15MM deal with the White Sox. The first year of that pact worked out quite well. Last season, he to sed 177 1/3 innings with a 3.30 ERA, 21.2% strikeout rate, 7.2% walk rate and 42.1% ground ball rate. The Cards acquired him from the White Sox ahead of the deadline. Hell face a far softer market in his return to free agency this winter. Photo courtesy of Michael McLoone, Imagn Images Keith Primeau Jersey
