Fedde will step in as a much-needed starter who is ready to be deployed immediately. As it stands, Atlanta's starting pitchers currently on the injured list include Grant Holmes, Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, Reynaldo Lopez and AJ Smith-Shawver. All three of Holmes, Sale and Schwellenbach went down with injuries this month.

The Atlanta Braves have acquired veteran starter Erick Fedde from the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately, to make room for Eric Fedde, the Braves placed starter Grant Holmes on the 60-day IL.

The Atlanta Braves made a trade to try and patch together a rotation with the acquisition of Erick Fedde after word got out that Grant Holmes' season is over.
