Corbin will be the starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Corbin has long lined up to take the ball Friday, the club took until just a few hours before first pitch to confirm his as the starter for the series opener. The veteran southpaw is in the midst of a down season in which he's posted a 6.04 ERA, and 1.44 WHIP across 126.2 innings, but he seems extremely unlikely to lose his spot in the starting rotation given his track record and Washington's lack of other options.
