Overview
- Atlanta acquired veteran right-hander Erick Fedde from the Cardinals on July 27 in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
- To clear a 40-man roster spot, Atlanta transferred right-hander Grant Holmes to the 60-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
- All five of the Braves’ Opening Day starters—Holmes, Chris Sale, Reynaldo López, Spencer Schwellenbach and AJ Smith-Shawver—are now on the injured list.
- St. Louis will cover the majority of Fedde’s remaining $7.5 million 2025 salary under the terms of the trade.
- Despite the Fedde addition, Atlanta is expected to shift into seller mode at Thursday’s trade deadline with veterans like Marcell Ozuna and Raisel Iglesias available.
