The Rangers optioned Patrick Corbin to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, per team updates, to build stamina post his signing last week.

Fantasy Impact

Corbin, signed last week, agrees to a Tuesday stint in Round Rock for 2 minor-league starts, eyeing an April 11 rotation debut versus the Mariners after missing Opening Day with the Rangers. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on his experience for value in Texas’s 2025 rotation once he’s ready mid-April.

Corbin’s 75-pitch sim game Monday, post a Tuesday signing and Sunday arrival after his third child’s birth, eyes an April rotation role with Jon Gray and Cody Bradford out, behind Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on his experience for value in Texas’ 2025 rotation if he ramps up soon.

Patrick Corbin won’t travel to Arizona for the Rangers’ final camp days due to his child’s impending birth, per team updates, meeting the team in Texas instead.

Fantasy Impact

Corbin, signed Tuesday to a one-year Rangers deal, skips Arizona camp’s end—wrapping March 22—for his child’s birth, joining Texas for March 24-25 Royals exhibitions in Arlington. His debut awaits. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, expecting his veteran presence to stabilize the Rangers’ rotation or bullpen once he’s active in the regular season.

The Rangers signed Patrick Corbin to a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Corbin was signed as Texas placed Jon Gray on the 60-day injured list. He spent the past six seasons with the Nationals where he struggled just about every year. He'll remain off the fantasy radar.

Patrick Corbin had another rough outing, allowing four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling season for Corbin, whose ERA nudged further north to 5.62. His WHIP remains inflated at 1.50, and with a modest strikeout rate of 7.2 K/9, his ability to mitigate damage has been minimal. The high BABIP of .338 suggests some bad luck, but it's clear that Corbin's days as a reliable fantasy starter are long gone. Fantasy managers should consider other options, as his current form and underlying metrics do not forecast a turnaround.
