Left with nowhere else to turn with struggling starter Erick Fedde, who has been in one of the worst funks of his MLB career, the Cardinals designated the veteran right-handed pitcher for assignment on Wednesday morning.

The St. Louis Cardinals just cut a pitcher who made 31 starts with a 3.30 ERA last year, but is 3-10 with a 5.22 ERA in 2025 and is owed $7.5 million.
