Patrick Corbin

Patrick Corbin delivered a quality start on Friday, allowing just one earned run on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings as the Nationals topped the Red Sox 5-1.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a refreshing change of pace for Corbin, whose season has been marred by a bloated 5.91 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP across eight starts. Despite the high ERA and WHIP, his outing against the Red Sox showed signs of potential stability, possibly hinting at a turnaround. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Corbin's high BABIP of .384 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky this season, but his low strikeout rate of 6.1 K/9 limits his upside in fantasy formats that reward strikeouts heavily. His performance in this game could be a stepping stone, but he'll need to string together more outings like this to regain trust in fantasy circles.

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 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.
