Corbin pitched five innings against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out three. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin didn't have his best stuff in the outing -- he threw only 50 of 93 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with four walks -- but he limited the damage by holding the Rays to three hits. The southpaw has been mediocre but consistent over his past five outings, pitching between 5.0 and 5.2 innings and giving up either three of our four runs in each contest. He holds a 6.21 ERA overall this season, second worst among all qualified starters. His next start will likely come at home against Pittsburgh early next week.

Corbin (3-5) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings to take the loss against Atlanta on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin's recent rough stretch continued Thursday, and he's now given up at least three runs in each of his last four outings. He began Thursday's contest by tossing five scoreless frames, but he gave up four runs to begin the sixth inning and was put in line for the loss as a result. The southpaw has now posted a 6.28 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 57.1 innings across 11 starts this year. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Corbin (3-3) allowed four runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out three in 5.2 innings to earn the win against the Orioles on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin struggled early in Sunday's contest, as he allowed four consecutive singles to begin the game and gave up three earned runs in the top of the first inning. However, the Nationals gave him just enough run support to return to the win column. The southpaw has recorded a 6.13 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 47 innings this season. Corbin tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Brewers on Saturday.

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.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals' offense combined for eight runs in the final two innings of the game, but Corbin was forced to settle for a no-decision. The southpaw has posted a 7.36 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 29.1 innings across his first six starts of 2021. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Phillies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis
It was only the second time through five starts this season the left-hander has completed five innings, and he generated only seven swinging strikes on 93 pitches.
