Erick Fedde returned from close to a month on the IL with right shoulder inflammation to go five innings against the Seattle Mariners last week in T-Mobile Park, giving up three hits and two runs in a 81-pitch outing in which he struck out six of the 19 batters he faced. Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez talked after the game about limiting the 29-year-old righty after he spent so much time on the Injured List.
“We had him penciled in for about 80-85 pitches, so he threw the ball well. We talked after he came out and he said he felt great,” Martinez told reporters.
