DeSclafani scheduled to start for Giants at Nationals
The Nationals are expected to send Max Scherzer to the mound Friday and the Giants plan to give Anthony DeSclafani the startJUNE 11, 2021 • Associated Press
Start pushed back Fedde (illness) will likely start one of the two games in Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Fedde was initially expected to start Friday's matchup, but Max Scherzer will now start that game after Thursday's contest was postponed due to inclement weather. As a result, the right-hander will likely get an extra day of rest before he's officially reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list.

Likely starting Friday Fedde (illness) is expected to return from the COVID-19 injured list to start Friday versus the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is on the cusp of rejoining the rotation after spending the past three weeks on the COVID IL after testing positive for the virus. The Nationals haven't officially confirmed Fedde as Friday's starter, but the right-hander lines up to pitch with the rest of the rotation plans announced for the weekend.

Impact There were some rumblings of Fedde possibly being activated to take the ball Wednesday against Atlanta, but the club felt that the right-hander would not be sufficiently stretched out to do so. Instead, Fedde will continue to build up his arm strength in the minors before joining the club for the upcoming weekend series in Philadelphia.

Likely to require rehab start Fedde (illness) will "probably" require a rehab start before he returns from the COVID-19 injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Fedde has rejoined the Nationals in Atlanta, and previous reports indicated that he could be in line to start Wednesday's game. The right-hander threw 65 pitches in a four-inning simulated game Saturday, but manager Dave Martinez said Monday that he'd like Fedde to be more stretched out than that when he returns to the major-league roster. If Fedde doesn't start Wednesday's matchup, it's not yet clear who will take the mound for the Nationals.

Likely to return, start Wednesday The Nationals are expected to activate Fedde (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list to start Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Fedde likely won't have a full-time spot in the rotation available now that he's poised to return from the IL, but the Nationals will need an additional starter this week coming off a doubleheader against the Brewers on Saturday. Fedde -- who tossed a 65-pitch, four-inning simulated game Saturday -- looks like the top candidate to fill the void. Since he would be pitching on three days' rest than the standard four, Fedde's workload could be more restricted than normal if he does in fact take the hill Wednesday.

Set for rehab start Fedde (COVID-19) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old has been on the COVID-19 injured list since May 19 after testing positive for the virus, but he's been cleared to rejoin the team and will get back up to speed in the minors. Fedde has a 4.35 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 39.1 innings (eight starts) this season, though it's unclear whether he'll rejoin the rotation or move to the bullpen once activated.
