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.

Corbin (6-12) was tagged with the loss Saturday against Atlanta after allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while fanning five across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran 32-year-old hurler continues to struggle and has been unable to repeat the strong performances he's had in past years with the Nationals. In fact, his 6.04 ERA would rank as a career-worst mark for him, and he has been pitching awfully of late with four or more runs allowed in six straight appearances. He owns a 7.83 ERA during that six-game stretch.

Corbin (6-11) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old gave up two-run home runs to Ozzie Albies and Adam Duvall in the contest, the latter ultimately enough to saddle him with a loss. Corbin has now allowed at least four runs in five straight starts while yielding nine homers in that span. He has an uninspiring 5.83 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB through 122 innings across 22 starts. The southpaw is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with Atlanta next weekend.

Corbin (6-10) took the loss against the Phillies on Tuesday after yielding four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out eight across seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

While he was able to miss a decent number of bats, Corbin fell victim to the long ball once again, surrendering three homers for the second straight game. The 32-year-old has now allowed at least four earned runs in five of his last six outings, taking the loss in four of those games. Corbin, who has pitched to the tune of a 5.74 ERA and 1.144 WHIP this season, is slated to take the mound again Sunday at Atlanta.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin had issues with the long ball and gave up homers to Rhys Hoskins, Andrew McCutchen and Alec Bohm, but the struggles of Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez allowed Corbin to avoid what would've been his 10th loss of the season. The veteran lefty has been pitching poorly of late, and he has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five outings while posting a 7.18 ERA across 26.1 innings during that stretch.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Corbin would start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin will end up being pushed back one day in the pitching schedule after he was initially on tap to start Wednesday before the contest was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns within the Washington organization. Through his first two starts of the second half, Corbin has been lit up for 11 runs (10 earned) over 10.2 innings to bring his ERA up to 5.71 on the season. With Corbin in the third season of a six-year, $140 million contract and in the midst of a brutal campaign, he's unlikely to command much trade interest from contending clubs ahead of Friday's deadline.

Corbin won't start Wednesday against the Phillies since the game was postponed due to the Nationals' COVID-19 outbreak, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trea Turner tested positive for the virus Tuesday and was removed during the first inning, and Washington has apparently had multiple players and coaches test positive. It remains to be seen who else is caught up in the outbreak. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Thursday, and Corbin should start one of those games, assuming he's available.

Corbin (6-9) allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 5.1 innings to take the loss against the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin tossed three scoreless frames to begin Friday's contest, but he struggled to contain the Orioles' offense after the third inning. The southpaw picked up a win in his final start before the All-Star break, but he's now given up at least five runs in each of his last two outings, and he's been charged with losses in four of his last five appearances. Corbin tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Corbin (6-7) earned the win over San Diego on Wednesday, tossing six innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw didn't dominate in the contest -- he threw only 66 of 106 pitches for strikes and did not record a single 1-2-3 inning -- but he did enough to notch both a quality start and the win. The victory snapped a two-start losing streak and pushed his record to 6-7 on the season. Corbin finished the first half of the campaign with a disappointing 5.40 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 7.0 K/9. He isn't likely to pitch again until Washington's series at home against San Diego immediately following the All-Star break.

Corbin (5-7) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Dodgers after allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and a walk while fanning two across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Corbin looked in control through the first three innings but the wheels came off shortly after, and he was lifted shortly after giving up a grand slam to Max Muncy -- his second homer of that inning. The southpaw was coming off back-to-back quality starts, but he was unable to repeat that feat against one of the best offenses in the National League. The 31-year-old now owns a 4.58 ERA since the beginning of June (six starts) and is scheduled to pitch again next week on the road against the Padres.
