Corbin did not factor into the decision against the Cubs on Tuesday after surrendering three runs on nine hits and a pair of walks while striking out four across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start against the Cubs in a Nationals uniform, Corbin was unable to silence their bats, scattering a season-worst nine hits in the process. Chicago made its way onto the scoreboard in the third frame due to a two-run single off the bat of Willson Contreras. Trouble struck again in the fifth inning with another RBI single, this time by Kris Bryant. Corbin, who had been activated from the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's start, has compiled a 6.10 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across eight starts this season. The southpaw is projected to take the mound again at home Sunday against Baltimore.

Corbin was activated from the paternity list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Cubs, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin was away from the team for four days, which coincided nicely with the gap between his starts. The lefty's 6.19 ERA on the season remains quite poor, but that's mainly the productive of a disastrous pair of outings to begin the year, as he owns a 3.00 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over his last four trips to the mound. Paolo Espino was optioned in a corresponding move.

Corbin was placed on the paternity list Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin will be with his wife and newborn child for up to three days. He's not scheduled to take the mound again until Tuesday, so his brief absence won't wind up costing him a start.

Corbin (2-3) allowed one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out nine across seven innings to earn the win Thursday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin delivered his most effective start of the season, racking up 18 swinging strikes on 102 total pitches. He also kept the ball in the yard, allowing no home runs in an outing for only the second time on the campaign. Despite a disastrous nine earned run outing on April 15, Corbin has now allowed only 10 earned runs across his last 30 innings of work -- spanning five starts. Despite the strong run, Corbin maintains an ugly 6.19 ERA with a 29:14 K:BB across 36.1 frames for the season. His next outing is currently projected to come Tuesday at the Cubs.

Corbin (0-3) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Mets after giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks while fanning three across four innings.

Corbin pitched six shutout innings while allowing four hits and striking out five but did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin returned to form with a scoreless, six-inning gem Tuesday against the Cardinals. The 31-year-old was completely locked in as he did not allow a walk and retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced. It was a very uplifting outing for Corbin after he had allowed 15 earned runs, four homers and sported a 6:7 K:BB across 6.1 innings over his first two starts. Tuesday's performance very well could have been a turning point for Corbin, as he'll look to continue his momentum in his next start against the Blue Jays next Tuesday.

Corbin (0-2) allowed 10 runs (nine earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out one across two innings, taking the loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin has struggled after coming off the COVID-19 IL, allowing three home runs in the first two innings of Thursday's game. In two starts, the 31-year-old allowed 15 earned runs in 6.1 innings. He is coming off a nice spring with an increase in his velocity, but last year's ERA (4.66) and WHIP (1.57) were down from prior seasons. His next start will come against the Cardinals on Tuesday.
