Eligibility
Patrick Corbin delivered a lackluster performance in the Nationals' 9-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings. Despite the win for his team, Corbin's personal stats didn't see much improvement, maintaining a concerning 6.45 ERA and 1.81 WHIP for the season. His low strikeout rate of 6.0 K/9 and high BABIP of .380 suggest that luck hasn't been on his side, and his performance could be a liability for fantasy managers. Given these numbers, Corbin remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that heavily penalize for ERA and WHIP.
Patrick Corbin allowed seven runs (four earned) on eight hits over four innings on Sunday against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Miami scored six runs on Corbin in the opening inning, which included a grand slam hit by Jazz Chisolm. Corbin was able to settle in and Washington came back from the big deficit to give him the no-decision. He is scheduled to face Toronto next.
Patrick Corbin delivered a solid performance, allowing no earned runs on just three hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his commendable effort, Corbin's season has been marred by high ERA and WHIP numbers, currently standing at 6.51 and 1.81, respectively. This outing, however, could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his ability to limit the Dodgers to minimal damage. Fantasy managers should remain cautious.
In a less-than-stellar outing against the Giants on Wednesday, Patrick Corbin's fantasy stock took another hit, surrendering seven earned runs on 11 hits over just 5.2 innings in the Nationals' 7-1 defeat.
Fantasy Impact
With no walks to his credit, it's clear control wasn't entirely the issue, but rather an inability to keep San Francisco's hitters at bay, managing only two strikeouts. This performance inflates his ERA to an unsightly 8.44 and WHIP to 1.94 across his first three starts of the season. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable leaving the veteran off their roster right now.
In a Friday night showdown that left much to be desired, Patrick Corbin's outing against the Philadelphia Phillies did little to quell the growing concerns surrounding his early-season performance.
Fantasy Impact
Tossing 93 pitches over six innings, Corbin allowed nine hits and three walks, translating to four earned runs against him, as the Washington Nationals fell 4-0 to their division rivals. While he managed to strike out six batters, the effort was overshadowed by the Nationals' inability to provide run support. The left-hander has done little to instill confidence when on the mound for fantasy managers, allowing four runs in both of his starts and should continue to be left out of lineups until further notice.
