Patrick Corbin

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.

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.

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.

Patrick Corbin will start the second game of the season for the Nationals.

Corbin will follow Josiah Gray who was named the Opening Day starter. Corbin posted a 5.20 ERA across 32 starts last season as he looks to take a step forward.

With a disappointing 5.13 ERA and 1.47 WHIP on the season, Corbin's lackluster performance in this game - allowing 5 earned runs in just 4.1 innings - only adds to his underwhelming numbers.

Despite his 10 wins, his low strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9 and mediocre 2.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio further dampen his fantasy outlook. Corbin's fantasy managers should approach him with caution for the remainder of the season.

Patrick Corbin delivered a solid performance on Monday, allowing just 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 1 walk over 6.2 innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

The left-hander showcased his strikeout ability, fanning 8 batters while throwing 98 pitches. With this win, Corbin improved his season record to 10-13. However, his overall numbers still leave something to be desired, as he owns a 5.18 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP through 29 starts. Despite the occasional strong outing, Corbin's inconsistency and high ERA make him a risky fantasy option moving forward.
